Ref. 110752   Edition. First Edition

Illustrated By: Thomas Bewick

Published By: Dean & Mundy 1813 (London)

"...To Which is Added, The Life of our Blessed Saviour, and the Holy Evangelists. Embellished and illustrated with upwards of four hundred Engravings on Wood." First edition with original printed pictorial paper boards. Inscription to ffep dated 1817, and another to rep. Engraved frontispiece. Engravings throughout. Life of Jesus and the Saints to the rear. Misbound, page 106 jumps to 118. I can't find record that the pages are missing or if the pagination is incorrect. Ends at Revelation before the Life of Jesus so seems to be complete. Binding has been sympathetically and professionally restored, retaining the original boards which have survived incredibly well. Quite toned with soiling/darkening throughout. Overall very good condition, a remarkable survivor considering its format. A scarce book indeed, no other first editions on the market. lowered price.
