Sobre este artículo
London (Amen-Corner, Paternoster-Row): Wm. S. Orr and Co., 1853. Complete 3 volume set (viii, 1-308; iv, 309-608; iv, 609-912) , with all 165 engraved plates (b&w as issued) and added engraved tail-pieces intact. Hinges starting (front board to volume 3 is present, but off), half leather with marbled boards and fore-edges. Small book-plate of Sarah Cross in each volume. This set was republished as a replica of the original SDUK publication, thought to be too expensive for wide distribution. Some chipping to edges. Decorative gilt-lettered, stamped spines, legible with some scuffing. Minimal browning and foxing. The preface that "the Society apologises for the incompleteness of their publication" due to the lack of some original portraiture. They also indicate a lack of representation for metaphysics, "in consequence of the highly controversial natue of the subject". This is a very nice and uncommon set. . 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Sobre The Prime Meridian: Antique Maps & Books
The Prime Meridian: Antique Maps & Books is owned and operated by Joel & Deborah Kovarsky. We first opened in 1998, but have had a decades-old interest in old maps, books, and paper, stemming from a comparable long-standing interest in how knowledge is used. Our business is run via the internet. We do not run an open shop, however we do welcome visitors by appointment only. Before attempting a visit, please contact us. We are a specialty business, dealing in antiquarian maps and related books (atlases, history of cartography, selected reference books, etc.). Please feel free to contact us for specific inquiries.
