B. & J. Johnson, Philadelphia, 1801

1801. Hardcover, 388 numbered pages. Three gilt horizontal lines on spine. No lettering (possibly bound that way, since some antiquarian books were purchased without binding and customers found their own binders and selected their own binding based on their budgets). Heavily worn binding (chips, bumps, about 1¾-inch tears to joints, rubbed, some scrapes, shelf wear, corners showing). Covers bowed (lifting from textblock), especially top cover. Old provenance writing on first endpaper, first blank, and rear blank. Endpapers worn and torn. Scattered damp stains/foxing/age toning throughout. Tears, creases to several pages, but most pages readable. Nevertheless, binding still tight. Free of bookplates, stickers, or writing in text. Overall Fair to Less than Fair condition. Not a former library book. Uncommon turn- of- the- century work on English, composition, prose, and poetry. It's written "to improve the highest class of learners in reading; to establish a taste for just and accurate composition, and to promote the interests of piety and virtue." An antiquarian book - historical and educational (of the turn of the century). Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
