About this Item

Brown leather on boards and spine, with gilt decoration to spine and edges of boards. Gilt lettering to red label on spine. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities. All page edges are red. Blue ribbon page maker is present and attached. Light spotting to pages throughout, but not interfering with text or frontis plate. Previous owner's ink inscriptions, one on front end paper and a second which reads 'Baron Hume 1828' on the half-title page, and a small amount of contemporary ink notations, in the same hand, within the book at top of pages 39 and 42, again not interfering with the text.David Hume, Baron Hume of Ninewells FRSE (1757?1838) was a Scottish advocate, judge and legal scholar, whose work on Scots criminal law and Scots private law has had a deep and continuing influence. He is referred to as Baron Hume to distinguish him from his uncle, David Hume the philosopher.Cut to rear end paper. The last work of Louis-Elisabeth Delavergne, Count of Tressan in sourhern France, published after his death. He was a French soldier, physician, scientist, medievalist and writer, best known for his adaptations of "romans chevaleresques" of the Middle Ages.This 1800 edition is described as a 'Seconde Edition, avec figure' after the 1795 first edition. Forgive my rudimentary knowledge of French but I believe this is about the adventures of Roberts The Brave, who was Knighted by Count Raymond of St. Gilles and Toulouse in 11th Century France. 250 pages, including dedications, discourses etc. taking up the first 26 pages.

Store Description

I am a small Independent Bookseller with 35 years experience. My main field of interest is Social Military and Maritime History and Mountaineering although I am always on the lookout for the strange and unusual. I have been a member of Abebooks for many years but due to ill health have not been part of the market place for some time. I do however buy from Abebooks on a regular basis on behalf of Bookpoint in Dunoon. I have always been well known for my accurate descriptions and prompt delivery service. If anyone is looking for Maritime or Scottish History please do not hesitate to contact me.
