Sobre este item
London: James Wallis, 1805. Hardcover. Good +. Complete in two volumes as issued. 8vo, original paper covered boards with titles on spine. Vol I xliv + 368pp; vol II 432 pp. Each volume has 6 engraved plates after drawings by W.M. Craig and an engraved title page in addition to the regular printed one. Edgewear and cracking on spines, vol I has a superficial tear to the front cover. Contemporary name and bookplate on front pastedown, also a handwritten line noting Ridley's authorship. Generally very good inside with occasional spotting. This is considered a superior version of this work due to the fine illustrations. Originally published in 1764, this purported to be a translation from Perisan of collected stories, whereas they were in fact Ridley / Morell's own invention. Most likely inspired by the Arabian Nights which were extremely popular at this time. ***Over 1kg and may require extra overseas postage***
