Beschreibung

No edition stated (hardback). 8vo, xvi, 440pp. Attractively bound in full black morocco, elaborate gilt design to the boards and the spine, white and black leather endpapers with gilt lining. This copy lacks the title page, the head of the spine is chafed, there is scattered light foxing of the contents, and a few ink annotations. Overall, the book is in good condition. The publisher is uncertain (as the title page is not present), but this copy collates as the 1789 Dublin edition.On the front pastedown there is is a white label with an ink inscription reading "To the King of Prussia". If this could be substantiated, it would make this an unusual association copy, but there is no provenance to back this up. The titling on the spine reads "The last moments of Frederick the Great".
