The Historic and Posthumous Memoirs of Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall…

London: Bickers & Son, 1884. 5 volume set, 8 3/4 inches tall. A very handsome late Victorian half crushed calf, almost certainly by Bickers, with gilt raised bands, gilt tooled panels and gilt top edges. Extra-Illustrated with 228 plates, many hand-coloured. From the Library of the Late Christopher Foyle of Beeleigh Abbey. Wraxall's 'Postumous Memoirs', first published in 1836, are very readable and have real historical value. A fine set.
