    Description

    Rebound, Scarce

    A reprint of a scarce 1604 tract of which only one original copy is known to exist, preserved in the Bodleian library.

    Edited by Shakespearian scholar James Orchard Halliwell, this curious tract begins with a dialogue between the characters of War, Famine, and Pestilence, and continues on to give insight into the domestic life of London's inhabitants during the great plague.

    This 1841 edition is rebound in stiff paper wraps, and bears a former owner's inscription, 'D. L. Cumming', to the recto of the title page.

    Condition

    Rebound in stiff paper wraps. Externally, some discolouration to spine and perimeters. Tape to the rear wrap, which appears to be a binding feature. Title of the book and original date '1604' in pen at front hinge. Some discolouration to title page. Former owner's inscription to the verso of the title page. Internally, text block is firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.
