    Description

    First Edition, Leather Binding

    Complete in two volumes, bound in one. 

    Bound in a lovely half calf with marbled paper-covered boards. 

    With the half title to each volume. 

    Originally published anonymously, this work is attributed to English Romantic poet Robert Southey. 

    This work blends fiction, autobiography, satire, miscellaneous essays, and anecdotes, with the collection introducing the reader to Doctor Daniel Dove and his horse Nobs as they embark on whimsical adventures. A humorous work in which Southey provides a social commentary of the world as he sees it. 

    Condition

    Bound in half calf with marbled paper-covered boards. Externally, lovely. Endpapers renewed. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright, with a little age toning and the odd mark.

    Very Good Indeed
