Strauss, David Friedrich (1808-1874)

London ; Edinburgh : Williams and Norgate, 1865. First Authorized Translation. Poor copies both in contemporary brown waxed cloth; bindings still relatively sound, albeit with hinges weak. Boards dust-dulled with heavy wear to joints and endbands; closed tear on vol. 1 rear joint, substantial tearing to vol. 2 headband. Vol. 2 front pastedown mounted with the bookplate of the Bangor Independent College Library; vol. 1 has a mounted photocopy of the same. Minor ownership marks to the prelims.
