Beschreibung

This is probably the oldest book in my late father's collection. I tried to research the printing history of this work without a great deal of success. I did find an on-line e-book that included a photocopy of the title page from this volume that appears to be exactly the same as this one. It is: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL6592052M/The_beauties_of_Sheridan Assuming that the information is real, this little collection was printed in Boston in 1831 (not in London as are other examples here on AbeBooks.com) in leather. How in the world it has lasted in this condition for 180+ years is beyond me, but here it is with the lower front corner rubbed and come loose from the board, some very minor stains on the bottom front and rubbing on the top and bottom of the boards. There is a note in pencil on the title page that says "Full of Love Poetry." There is some foxing of the end papers but the binding is tight, the pages clean and unmarked and except for some toning, the outside of the pages. There are no comparable copies on AbeBooks at this point in time. The British editions really are not comparable and I think this one is an American gem. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000242
