Paul and Virginia. by SAINT-PIERRE, Bernardin. WILLIAMS, Helen Maria (translated…

London: John Sharpe, 1820. Full calf, 6 1/2 inches tall. A delightful full diced calf with wide gilt raised bands, twin labels and ornate gilt tooling to the panels. The diced boards are framed within gilt fillets and blind and gilt rolls. A charming and neat inscription, dated 1822 is to be found on the reverse of the free end paper and a neat ink former owner's name on the first blank. With five fine engraved plates. A little superficial loss to the lower board, otherwise in splendid condition.
