About This Item
Salem: Cushing & Appleton, 1809 Bound in full period calf, 511 pp plus errata and contents very good or better. Leather is still handsome though spine label is missing and front board detached and with wear to the fore edge, rear board cracked at joint. Also first front end paper is detached. Text is largely unread with the rear end papers lightly foxed. But for the detached front board and endpaper and weak rear hinge this is an exceptional copy and could be relatively easily restored.
