The History of England by T. Smollett Vol 1 1823 Antiquarian Full Leather Bound
A lovely 1823 fully leather bound edition of The History of England by Tobias Smollett, volume 1 only (I also have some of the other volumes for sale, but not a full set). Marbled page edges and endpapers. The volume is embossed with a gilded emblem, which I believe is that of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. As expected for the age of the book, there are signs of wear and visible marks to the cover and spine. Internally, there is some foxing, although most pages are just tanned, and otherwise very clear and readable. Pages are very secure. The volume must have also belonged to a school library, as there are some library stamps and inscriptions. Please see photos for more information.
