Price: £144.00
8vo., with engraved frontispiece, engraved and printed titles, 4 engraved plates of views, a folding facsimile on japon of Scott's handwriting and several wood-engraved tail-pieces in the text, frontispiece and engraved title a little dusty; attractively bound in full green morocco, boards elaborately blocked in gilt to an arabesque design, back gilt extra with five raised bands, second compartment ruled and lettered in gilt, all other compartments richly tooled and ruled in gilt, all edges gilt, gilt doublures, primrose endpapers, neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down, a very good, clean copy.
The engravings are by Brandard, Le Keux, Miller and Pye from works by Turner and Stanfield. The engraved title is by Le Keux after Turner. This would appear to be a later issue, for the engraved title is dated 1851 and we have seen other copies bound in red.
