Beschreibung

Two fifth edition volumes of D'Israeli's 'Curiosities of Literature', his most popular work. In an attractive uniform leather binding. Isaac D'Israeli (1766 1848) was a British writer, scholar and man of letters. He is best known for his essays, his associations with other men of letters, and as the father of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. The work contained a myriad of anecdotes about historical persons and events, unusual books, and the habits of book-collectors. The work was very popular and sold widely in the 19th century, reaching its eleventh edition (the last to be revised by the author) in 1839. Previous owners bookplate to the front pastedown. In half-calf bindings. Externally sound with slight rubbing and some wear to the extremities. Bookplate to front pastedowns. Internally firmly bound with bright and clean pages throughout, save for some browning. Loss to title pages of both volumes probably to excise an ownership signature. Good.
