307 pages (complete). A note from the editor : ".this is the first time that the Paul and Virginia of St Pierre has appeared in an English dress ; all the previous editions having been disfigured by impertinent interpolations, and mutilated by numerous omissions and alterations, which had the effect of reducing it from the rank of a philosophical tale to the level of a mere story for children. From this species of sacrilege the Editor has endeavoured to rescue this charming work .". Ex-library (Port Elizabeth Public Library) with consequent rebinding, stamps, annotations and wear, debris and usage. Half leather cover. The leathered corners and spine have wear and scuffing and marks. They are balefully benign. The boards are also worn, scuffed and marked from storage and use. Within, the pages are, considering the age of this copy, benevolently generous. The contents do have foxing and some wear. However, they are by far clean, clear, fresh, amenable, competent and comfortingly venerable. fk. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Hardcover.
