Beschreibung

Plain brown leather boards; rubbed and scuffed. Raised bands on spine; gilt rules above and below bands; slight wear to external hinges, and internal joints partially exposed, but binding otherwise intact. B/w frontis. Bolingbroke's scathing attack on Walpole's Whig ministry -- it's also a fascinating slice of English history, as this edition was not merely published within Walpole's lifetime, but while he was still First Lord of the Treasury, de facto Prime Minister (1721-42). ; 8vo (5" x 8"); 252 pages.
