Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for the Author by E Hodson, 1794 A good copy of the suppressed 1st edition with 8 aquatint plates. Robertson was briefly imprisoned for his remarks and the revised edition, issued later in 1794, lacks pp 233-35 which were considered particularly seditious. In contemporary half leather binding with gilt decorative compartments to spine and marbled boards. With armorial bookplate of the Kinnaird family (? Charles, 8th Lord, 1780-1826) to the front pastedown. The binding appears to be the original publisher's boards with a more elaborate spine and is rubbed with some splitting observable at the top of the front joint and bumping to corners. The contents are untrimmed and pages vary in size from octavo to quarto with wide margins. Contents: blank; title page; dedication 1p; Preface 3pp; Contents 4pp; Text with 8 plates pp 2-160; half title - Review of the Manks History; text pp 163-235; blank. It is generally clean and bright - some light spotting towards the end. Plates in very good condition.
