Description

2 vols., [of 3], roy. 8vo., First Edition, HEAVILY CORRECTED AND ANNOTATED IN MS THROUGHOUT; red faux-morocco cloth, sides framed and lettered 'PRESS COPY' in gilt, gilt backs, green endpapers, expertly rebacked to style with old backstrips laid down, both very good, bright, clean copies. EDITION LIMITED TO 150 NUMBERED COPIES (THIS COPY NO. 47). WITH THE AUTHOR'S SEPARATE PRESENTATION CERTIFICATE NUMBERED AND COMPLETED IN MS (Certificate lightly frayed at edges). THIS COPY IS PRESENTED BY THE EARL OF SEAFIELD [the author's son] TO THE HON. JAMES OGILVIE GRANT OF GRANT. Tragically, this copy is wanting the first volume. It is unclear whether the copious amendments were made before or after presentation, but given the volume of revision it seems likely that they were made after scrutiny by the recipient. RARE AND POSSIBLY UNIQUE. Thomson p.73.
