Amsterdam: Covens & Mortier, 1740. Paperback. 2 vols. 628p; 626p. A set of two 18th-century books in their original wraps. FAIR condition. Both books are heavily worn and fragile due to age; the wraps are crumpled and splitting along the spines, leaving the last few pages loose in volume 1. Binding is cracked in voplume 2, leaving the covers and first and last 50 or so pages detached. Page edges darkened and crinkled; light dampstaining in volume 2. Light age-toning to the paper, but text otherwise unmarked. Worn but readable copies that should be handled gently. Item #186835
