Rob Roy. Vol. 1
1818, First Edition. Edinburgh : Archibald Constable and Co. ; London : Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. Very good copy in contemporary plain boards, now somewhat scuffed and dust-dulled, with gilt-blocked leather spine labels. Corners slightly bumped, with minor wear to the panel edges. Spine somewhat rubbed, particularly at the joints and endbands. Marble endpapers and edges; half-title clipped at the upper corner. Text block remains strong and clean on the whole, showing only the expected faint foxing and offsetting of age. A well-preserved example overall. Item #475466
