Item description from seller

Critically compared with Addison's own Edition, in which the Errors of modern Copies are expunged. 8 vols. pp. xx, 318; 335; 320; 299; 290; 305; 325; 283. 8 frontispieces. 8vo. Modern boards with paper spine labels, spines faded. In an open fronted box. Occasional pages uncut. A little foxing. Vol 1 has a tear, repaired on pp.23/24, not affecting the text, the same in Vol 4 pp 131/132. Vol 7 - part of the top margin torn away affecting the heading but not the text; Vol 8 - tear pp. 177/178 repaied and not afecting the text and lacking pp 279 - 282 of the index. Hunt, C. J. The Book Treade in Northumberland and Durham to 1840. John Mitchell 1772 - 1819. Bookseller, publisher and printer was working in Newcastle from 1799 until his death in 1819. This, as far as I can ascertain unrecorded pirate edition would have been published during that time. Mitchell is best known as the founder and principle writer of the radical Tyne Mercury.
