Complete two volume first edition set of the Jervas translation. Bindings need professional repair for Volume I's front board is detached with slender splitting to rear joint although with rear board still firm; likewise Volume II's joints have splitting with some pliability to front board but with its rear board still firm - sold as is. Hardcovers: H 28cm x L 22cm. Uniformly bound in contemporary (mid to late 1700s) full tree leather; boards rubbed with some old surface losses at bottom margins; shelf-wear to boards' gilt tooled edges; boards' gilt inner dentelles remain reasonably bright; spines retain their gilt tooled compartments and original dark red title labels and black volume# labels. No bookbinder marks present but likely the set is the product of a higher-end London bindery. Both volumes share the same Tonson and Dodsley 1742 London imprint and their title pages credit translator Charles Jarvis which is an incorrect spelling of his surname as it should be "Jervas" (the misspelling also occurs on the spine titles which specify "Jarvis's Don Quixote"). Each volume retains its original sewn-in dark green silk ribbon page markers although the usual expected fraying at their bottom ends. Marbled endpapers; both volumes have mid-18th century style armorial bookplate of Andrew Lindegren on their respective front pastedowns (which may or may not be Swedish immigrant iron ore importer Andrew Lindegren, ?-1783, of Portsmouth, England). Some light toning and scattered foxing to leaves. Text blocks are firm. ***** VOLUME I.
