Of the Proficience and Advancement of Learning

A detailed copy of Bacon's Of the Proficience and Advancement of Learning, Edited by B. Montagu. Adorned with a beautifully engraved title page. Containing the original publishers' advertisements to the start of the work, and bound in the original publishers' binding. In original publishers' cloth binding with paper spine label. Externally, rubbed with some light marks, and sunning to the spine and front board. Some straining to the front hinge. Internally, firmly bound, bright and generally clean, aside from some spotting to the endpapers. Neat ink inscription to the half title, dated 1843. Previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown. Very Good.
