Author: [Isaac D'Israeili]
Title: Curiosities of Literature, Volumes I-III
Description: London, John Murray, 1824. Leather. 3 vols. 512p; 511p; 472p. A set of three hardcover books bound with golden-brown leather spines and corners. The boards, endpapers, and foredges are all marbled. The spines and edges are scuffed, marring the gilt decorations on the spines and making the lettering a bit difficult to read. Small chip off the head of volume II's spine. Pages mildly age-toned and faintly foxed. Otherwise, text unmarked and binding secure across the set. Each volume contains the bookplate of Norwood Penrose Holloway, Jr. of Massachusetts. Volume II contains a foldout facsimile of Pope's manuscript of Homer; this foldout has a small closed tear and some mild foxing. .
