About this Item

235 pages. A series of letters written as a humorous spoof of the famous classic work by Lord Chesterfield of moralistic and cautionary work of letters to his son. This isn't remotely like that. Constantia Chesterfield has a voice of perfect reason and skewed morality, with the resultant consequences. 14 full page woodcut plates by "Phiz" engraved by Watkins. Original cloth worn at spine with gilt titles on front board, boards marked by old ink stain and head of spine worn down, some foxing throughout, mostly light, but some pages affected a little more. Small octavo. Scarce. *Sala was friends of Dickens and Hablot Knight Browne and mixed in their circle in literary London. He wrote the very fist obituary of Dickens in the times in 1870.

Store Description

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
