About this Item

Original edition, complete in three (3) volumes, uniformly rebound in black leatherette, spine panels lettered in gilt, new endpapers, new head- and tail-bands, retaining orginal marbling on text block edges. viii,336,248 + xi,516 + xiii,511 pp., w/ a total of (5) folding plates, bound as per binding instructions printed on each plate as follows: [I] Pl. I, IV; [II] Pl. II, V; [III] Pl. III, complete as issued. Presents essentially "as new" by virtue of recent, sympathetic rebinding. Text blockshows very slight, very occasional foxing, and we note one or two instances of underlining in pencil. Junius was a pen name of an author the identity of whom has never been firmly established (though a prime suspect appears to be Sir Philip Francis) who published politically inflammatory tracts in London in the era just before the British crown became consumed in the events of the American Revolution. An attractive set rendered quite durable as well by virtue of its rebinding. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
