Octavo issue of the British edition which, according to Howes, is the best edition of Marshall's classic biography of Washington. "After the able, accurate and comprehensive work of Chief Justice Marshall, it would be presumptuous to attempt a historical biography of Washington" - Jared Sparks. The first American edition and this first British edition contain a history of the colonies in the first volume which was omitted from later editions. Howes calls for ten maps and six plates, which conforms to this set and the list of maps and plates in the rear of the fifth volume, though one of Howes's "plates" is actually an in-text illustration on page 572 of the third volume. A quarto British edition was also produced at the same time. HOWES M317. SABIN 44788. REESE, REVOLUTIONARY HUNDRED 92 (ref). Five volumes. xxxvi,579,[1]; viii,633,[1]; viii,572; viii,684; viii,843,[1]pp., including one in-text illustration, plus twelve folding maps. Frontispiece in three volumes (two of them folding). Contemporary tree calf, gilt spines, gilt leather labels, all edges marbled. Moderate wear to bindings, corners bumped and worn, a few of the labels tender. Armorial bookplate of Spains Hall at Finchingham in Essex (home of the Ruggles-Brise family since 1760) to each front pastedown, ink ownership signature of John Ruggles on each front free endpaper. Scattered foxing, some dust-soiling, a couple maps with small repairs to verso. Overall very good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 54912

First quarto British edition and, according to Howes, the best edition of Marshall's classic biography of Washington. "After the able, accurate and comprehensive work of Chief Justice Marshall, it would be presumptuous to attempt a historical biography of Washington" - Jared Sparks. The first American edition and this first British edition contain a history of the colonies in the first volume which was omitted from later editions. Howes calls for ten maps and six plates, but the present copy conforms to the list of maps and plates in the rear of the fifth volume, except for the map of Boston, which is bound as a frontispiece to Volume Five instead of at the rear. HOWES M317, "aa." SABIN 44788. REESE, REVOLUTIONARY HUNDRED 92 (ref). Five volumes. xxxii,458; vii,[1],541,[2]; viii,460; vii,[1],589; vii,[1],669,[4]pp., plus twelve folding maps and three frontispiece plates. One in-text illustration. Quarto. Contemporary diced Russia, ruled in blind and gilt, neatly rebacked, spines gilt, morocco labels. Moderate edge wear. Erased contemporary ownership stamps and inscriptions on titlepages.
