Item description from seller

For extra pictures of the more valuable books, please press the 'Ask Bookseller A Question' button. Combines two books in one volume. This book is in generally very good and clean condition. Volney's Ruins. was second only to Paine's 'Rights of man' in its influence on English and American radicals in the decade of revolution. Both these books have been translated from the original French. Internally, the pages are mostly very clean with very little foxing. There is a very small amount of water staining to the pages around 115 of 'View of the Climate.' Spine and boards have been re-laid and therefore the binding is very tight. The boards themselves are a little worn and the corners are slightly bumped. The spine has been repaired but original nameplate in relatively good condition. A fine work. Buying more than one book will save on postage costs. We have split our books into 70 + categories. Size: 5" - 8" Tall.

Store description

Our base is near Billingshurst, West Sussex UK. We have been book collecting for 30 years. Our books are stored at the appropriate steady temperature and humidity. We offer rare and out of print books primarily to collectors. We normally describe the condition of boards and spines separately and in addition to contents. For magazines and leaflets we use the book description box to describe the CONTENTS and the jacket box to describe the covers. To assist collectors we try and offer magazines individually (subject to a minimum order value of £10 + P&P). For a number of the more valuable books photographs are avaialable on our website. Some have multiple images and there are both small and large images available. Either click "ask bookseller a question" or e mail us direct to access the picture gallery. For queries made through our BiancoLibrary website we can provide images "scanned to e-mail" for books vlaued at over 20 pounds or so. Please bear in mind that these scans cover boards and plates etc but cannot always accommodate spines. In some cases we can also fax black and white copies. We ask customers not to abuse this service.
