Sobre este artículo
London: Longman, 1813-1815 Complete in 2 volumes. Volume 1 title page does not bear name of Sir Walter Scott, but that of Vol. 2 does have the full title as above. HB. Cloth with decorative gilt spine and borders. All edges gilt. Vol.1 : 127pp introduction and 92pp text; vol. 2: 208pp + 101pp of appendice, plus index. H: 29cm. With engravings in plates after J. Clennell and other artists: 47 full page engravings in each volume, of high quality. Most depict buildings and monuments in the Borders. Fair to Good overall: the pages are generally very good and well bound but the covers are worn, and volume 2 has the covers detached, with a third of the spine panel detached but present; volume 1 has the bottom 5cm of the spine panel missing. Gilt to covers is still bright to main boards, with some dulling to spines. Pages are mostly clean, some browning to ends and to backs of plate paper, and occasional spotting to margins. Some plates are lightly browned with spotting to the image side, mostly to the margins. Neat small name labels inside front covers.
