Sobre este artículo
London: Longmans, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1852. Hardcover. Good-VG for age. Modern rebinding in black cloth with gilt sp. lettering and new end-papers, no obvious faults. xvii + 1264, 921 numbered text ills (t.p. says 'Nearly one thousand woodcuts'; erasable penciled date and sig. of Derek Gibson verso fr. end-paper (this being eminent pioneering cardiologist Derek Gair Gibson, 1935-2021, who was also a bibliophile), some light brown splash marks to t.p. plus faint marginal tanning, the latter recurring throughout, a little heavier to last few pages, otherwise clean, tight and unmarked. This is described on t.p. as a New Edition and pagination is a little higher than listed earlier editions which end on p.1238, however in this edition p.1238 has no obvious breaks in text so either this reflects a re-setting or cumulative effect on internal additions and revisions. Very scarce. Covers virtually everything from bread-making to carriages, health to kitchen furniture and clothes to candles. Originally published in 1844, with subsequent US editions also issued in 1840s. Apparently very scarce, especially this edition. Nearly 1.7 kg unpacked so allow for additional postage especially for non-UK sales. 15 cm x 22.5 cm
