Two octavo vols. vi, 244; 272pp. Cooper's first book, originally published in 1820, is here re-editioned with his revisions. This publication oddly and considerably scarcer than the first, hardly ever to market. Even scarcer in its original boards, as here, of full purple cloth with paper spine labels. Volumes quite sturdy save evolving split along hinge between pp. 1 and 2 in volume II. Spines sunned, overall rubbing and soiling as expected for the appropriate binding. Very good as can be hoped.
