About this Item

Four works by Colton bound in one volume. Being: Lacon (first volume, 10th edition, 1821); Lacon (second volume, first edition, 1822); Lord Byron (half title only, ND, advertisement dated 1819, likely 1822); Moscow (fourth edition, 1822). A good Colton collection, of which the second volume of Lacon appears particularly scarce. Some toning and foxing, but not too intrusive. Occasional neat pencil notation. Armorial bookplate to front pastedown. Heavily worn half leather binding of which spine has been replaced by brown paper with hand-drawn paper label. Not unattractive, but a good candidate for a sympathetic rebind. 8vo. i) xiii + 267pp; ii) v + 186pp; iii) 566pp; iv) vii + 30pp.
