The Life of Nelson. by SOUTHEY, Robert

London: John Murray, 1813. 2 volume set, 6 1/2 inches tall. Superb little Regency full navy blue calf bindings in wonderful condition with wide gilt raised bands, label and intricate blind tooling to the panels typical of the period. The boards are framed within gilt and blind fillets. Withe the armorial bookplates of Sir Robert Johnson Eden. Engraved frontispieces. First edition, second issue. Slight foxing to the frontispieces and title pages and very slight rubbing but about the nicest set one is likely to locate of this great biography of Lord Nelson.
