Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 'In Two Volumes.' The few other sellers of these volumes from 1856 are identifying them as first editions, first English editions that would be, so I'm assuming that these are as well. 1856 is the date on the title pages of both volumes. The verso copyright pages are blank. I can't find any information the for the publishers 'Longman, Brown, Green, And Longmans' with regard to how their first editions are indicated. The 'Brown' part of the firm came out sometime after this book was published. I don't often have for sale antiquarian volumes in such nice condition. You can see the covers in the photos. The bands and the gilt lettering and gilt design on the spine are all in excellent condition. The only wear, as you can see, is a little rubbing at the spine ends. There is a tiny tear the bottom edge of Volume II and a tiny loss at the top edge of Volume I. The marbled design on the front and rear of both volumes is in excellent shape. The book does have light to moderate rubbing on areas of the green. The rubbing at the edges is light, a few thin spots of it on the top edges of Volume II, some on both bottom and middle edges, not bad. There is also rubbing around the corners, but only small spots of rub-through. The top page edges are gilt. They look very good. There are a handful of light tan spots on the middle page edge of Volume I. Both volumes are square with straight spines. Both volumes are very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. In Volume I, there is a thin space over the top half of the juncture between the blank verso of the marbled front end paper and the facing front side of the second (blank) end paper. Both pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. In Volume II, there is a very thin space over parts of the juncture between the front cover and the front marbled end paper. The end paper is tightly bound. The covers of both volumes are very tightly bound, no give at all, no binding issues. I didn't see any other spaces between any other facing pages or between the covers and any of the pages in either volume. As mentioned, the pages are nicely tight throughout. The inside covers and end papers are a marbled pattern identical to the one on the covers. They all look very good. I checked to see whether the small tan spots on the middle page edge of Volume I had made their way onto the actual pages. I found some with only a very little tan spot just peeking over their outer edge. The pages in Volume I are exceptionally clean. I have scrolled through them a number of times and found only four small tan spots. It wouldn't shock me if there were a few others, but thus far I haven't found them. So, that clean. I'm also not finding any turned-down corners or placeholder creases. The middle edges of the pages are, in the main, nicely smooth. They may be rough-cut or deckled pages that were just cut very smoothly because there are maybe fifteen instances of a slightly jagged middle edge, and a handful of instances, pages, with a tiny loss at their middle edge, obviously for from the print. I also found two instances of a small tear at a middle edge, neither reaching near to the print. In Volume II, the pages are also exceptionally clean. I did find a somewhat larger tan spot at the margin of four consecutive pages, though still not touching the print. There is a small crease below the tip of the top corners of the early pages through to around page 5. Again, in Volume II, I didn't see any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases. Here there are only a few slightly jagged middle edges and only a couple of tiny middle edge losses. A very occasional page is cut shorter (though smoothly) at the bottom edge, including the half-title page in Volume II. There are no markings in either volume. There are no attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.
