Uniformly bound in half calf.

An epic poem by Sir Walter Scott, telling of the sixteenth century Scotland and England, concluding with the Battle of Flodden of 1513. A story of treason, lust, and dishonesty evolving around Lord Marmion's lust for a rich, engaged woman.

Condition

Bound in half calf. Externally, very good, with rubbing to the boards and extremities, causing a little loss. Hinges are a touch strained but holding firm. Bookseller label to rear paste down. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with a few handling marks and light offsetting.

Very Good
