About this Item

380pp. Still well bound, interior in nice clean condition with just some foxing to title pages. A few top edges still uncut. Of added interest is it's provenance, handwritten and a bit faded on half-title page is a note 'This book belongs to Lord Beresford's Library at Bedgebury Park' who as a General fought alongside The Duke of Wellington at Waterloo. An armorial bookplate shows the book later belonged to Henry D. Lewis of Combwell Priory near Goudhurst in Kent. One of a number of odd volumes I have available from this 12 volume set, reduced combined postage offered.
