What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Leather Binding
The first edition, first issue: lacking signature on dedication leaf of volume I; with the misspelling 'Wichtcraft' to volume II, page 52; with page 348 of volume IV miss numbered as 438.
The second series of 'Tales of My Landlord', this work can also be viewed as the seventh of Scott's Waverly novels.
Set between 1736 and 1736, the plot of the work is set into motion by the Porteous Riots in Edinburgh, and involves a working class Edinburgh girl's travels to London, to obtain a royal commutation of the death penalty incurred by her sister.
Bound without half titles.
With the armorial bookplate of Nathanael Ellison to front pastedowns, and an engraved plate pasted to the front free endpaper of each volume.
