Sobre este artículo
London: Benj. Motte [Benjamin], 1727. Fourth octavo edition. Hardcover. Very good -. Octavo, 4 parts in 2 volumes. Though a stated "Second Edition," which comports with Teerink's second edition, this is understood to be the fourth octavo edition, with 24 leaves of verses preceding the first Part, understood to have been authored by Alexander Pope. Overall about very good in contemporary brown calf, with gilt borders and spines. Marbled endpapers and edges (though the marbling to the edges is almost entirely faded away). Spines heavily faded, with some of the leather dried out, but there are visible remnants of an armorial design on the spine, which very likely corresponds to the armorial bookplate on the front paste-down of each volume (that of "Courtown"). Corners slightly worn. Some outer joints tender, even almost cracked, but holding strong. Externally a somewhat worn, but apparently unrestored example, and uncommon thus. Frontispiece in second state (as called for here), and all other plates are present. Some mild and sporadic internal foxing, and a few very old, faint stains. Mild insect damage to the margins of Part IV, affecting perhaps a dozen pages, not approaching the text, and not visible externally. Altogether a handsome set in original, unrestored condition. This instant classic, having been for over two centuries an essential volume in great book collections (even in its later early editions), is often found with varying degrees of restoration, which this set has been graciously spared. Housed attractively in a custom-made red cloth clamshell box with felt lining and red morocco spine label. Given this book's labyrinthine bibliographical history, please contact us directly with any specific questions.

We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
