What Our Customers Say...

Description

The first edition of the work. 

Very scarce.

Collated, bound without the 'Music of the Songs' to the rear of volume one.

Published in 1801, William Render’s A Tour Through Germany details his travels along the Rhine, Main, and Palatinate regions. Blending cultural observations, landscape descriptions, and local customs, it also includes a German-English phrasebook for practical use by travellers.

Written by Dr. William Render, a German native who settled in England. He was a translator, tutor, and travel writer.

Condition

In half calf with marbled boards. Externally very smart with rubbing to extremities and boards resulting in slight loss to leather. Hinges very slightly strained but firm. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with just the odd spot, slightly heavier to first and last few pages. Ink spill to page 167 of volume 1, not impacting the text.

Very Good
