What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
An early edition of this work. With the same pagination as the first edition, but lacking a date to the title page. Without the errata leaf found in the first edition.
Illustrated with a frontispiece depicting 'Luther's retreat at the Castle of Wartburg', rather than the folding map that appears in the first edition. Collated, complete.
Including discussion of Russian trade, Moscow, the Siberian frontier, Omsk, the criminal justice system, and Chinese outposts in Siberia.
With bookplate removal to front pastedown, and the former owner's inscription of W. Behrond, 1868, to the front pastedown.
The author was a barrister, and worked as a magistrate in Hertfordshire and Wiltshire.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Bumping to back strip head and tail, with fading to spine and board perimeters. Front hinge strained, and somewhat tender. Former owner's inscription and bookplate removal to front free endpaper. Internally, binding a touch strained to centre. Pages clean and bright.
