Journal of a residence in Circassia during the years 1837, 1838, and 1839. Vol 2
1840, First Edition. London : Edward Moxon. Good copy in the original gilt-blocked half red calf over marble boards, now somewhat surface-worn and entirely lacking the leather corners. The spine remains strong, if dust-toned and rubbed at the joints and endbands. Later, early 20th century, bibliographic advertisements mounted to the pastedowns. Preliminary and final leaves somewhat foxed, with a tear to the rear free endpaper. Plates and facing leaves show some minor foxing, with the interior remaining otherwise tight, bright and clean. A strong and well-preserved example overall. Item #464479
