Published by William Pickering, London, 1833

About this Item

Fine leather binding with texture leather boards with decorated impressed borders, spine with impressed decorated panel with gilt on black title label ' The Hand' and gilt on red author label 'Bell', gilt deckled edges, no significant faults - a couple of small darkish spots to back, a few suggestions of edge-rubbing being about it. Rear end-paper has very small label of bookbinder 'Dd.Batten' of Clapham Common which looks early enough to rule out a recent re-bind. Marbled end-papers and edges. xvi + 314, approx 45 text engravings (these un-numbered and unlisted); internally clean, tight and quite unmarked, no tanning or foxing. Although a 2nd (unaltered) edition was issued later the same year this was clearly marked as such. 13.5 cm x 22 cm. Seller Inventory # 012815
