A History of Great Britain, From the First Invasion of the Romans to the Accession of George IV: With Genealogical and Political Tables, Maps, Portraits, &c

A very scarce copy of Edward Holt's continuation of Antoine de Moleville's history of Great Britain, illustrated with portraits throughout. A very scarce work, with only one listed in WorldCat at the New York Historical Society Library. One volume only, being volume six of a total of six volumes. This work is a snapshot of British history, lookin at the public and domestic life of George III. Antoine-Francois Bertrand de Moleville was a French politician. Continued by Edward Holt, Esq. Holt continued Moleville's works by adding two volumes, though his additions are very scarce. With a frontispiece, and thirteen plates. In a half crushed morocco binding with marbled paper to the boards. Externally, smart. A little marking to the boards and spine. Front hinge is starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with some spots to the plates only. Some of the text to the title page has been rubbed out. Very Good.
