Hardcover. Zustand: Poor. 6th Edition. See photos for condition details. Hardcover in very poor condition as book is in numerous pieces, although all parts are present. The collectible part of this book is actually the bookplate of George Frederick Kunz which is on the frontispiece of the detached front board. The bookplate shows some minor scuffing and spotting but matches the one listed in the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester NH. As far as the book condition, both boards are detached and spine is mostly chipped away. Exterior is heavily worn, particularly on the edges. The marbled and pages in front and rear are present although the front marbled end page is detached and the rear marbled end page is attached to the rear board, which is also separated. The rear pastedown contains an early 19th century bookseller advertising square. The remaining text pages are all readable but there is considerable staining present in the rear section of the book and some pages are barely hanging on. Foxing is also present throughout. It is important to note that this is only volume 1 of the set. Although complete as volume 1 of the 1802 edition, the real value is in the bookplate. The book itself is only usable for reading or rebinding purpose - it's what we consider "a book in a bag" because of the condition being extremely poor.…
