Sobre este artículo
London: John Murray, 1835. Complete in ten volumes. The second Croker edition. The first 8 volumes are 1835 printings; volumes 9 and ten are from 1839. The ten volumes are uniformly bound in a contemporary full light brown leather. In 1831 Murray published a 5-volume edition that included for the first time the additions and notes of Coker. The poorly edited edition was panned by critics (notably, Macaulay); so the publisher rushed to re-edit the text and published this set in 1835 and 1839. The second edition not only was better edited, but it also contained additional illustrations not found in the first edition. The attractive set is in about very good condition: each volume is clean and tight, with some edgewear; most volumes have waterstains on covers--see the attached images for an example of the typical stain.. The second Croker Edition. Hardcover. Very Good-. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Book.
