1788Best.-Nr. ST10830London: Printed for G. G. J. and J. Robinson 1788. Second Edition in English. 216 x 137 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 3/8". Two volumes. VERY FINE CONTEMPORARY FLAMED CALF flat spines ruled in gilt red morocco label on each spine. Three engraved folding plates views and plan and two engraved folding maps. Front pastedowns with the armorial bookplate of Penelope Vaughn. Cox I 235 citing French edition of 1787; Lowndes IV 2790; Graesse VI 389 both citing English edition of 1787. ◆A handful of paper flaws one causing a short tear without loss just into text a half dozen leaves with light marginal soiling apparently incurred in the print shop top inch of front joint of second volume slightly cracked two bottom corners a bit bumped and rubbed but A VERY FINE COPY INSIDE AND OUT the bindings lustrous and scarcely worn the text bright and clean and the plates all remarkably well preserved. The author's first book this item is called by Chambers "one of the most exact and valuable works of its kind ever published" Cox quoting Chambers' "Cyclopaedia: or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences". The Blackmer catalogue says that "Volney's popular and highly-regarded work was the result of three years' travels a good deal of which time was spent in Cairo. His account has never really been surpassed. Volney went to great lengths in preparation which included a year devoted to exercise and self-deprivation and three months learning the language required in a convent in the mountains of Lebanon." Volney 1757-1820 was a learned man a frequent traveller and an important governmental official who was expelled from America as a suspected spy and who narrowly escaped the guillotine during the French Revolution. The present bindings obviously are not notable for their decoration but they are wonderful examples of attractively executed flamed calf bindings typical of those making up the bulk of country gentlemen's libraries all over Great Britain. The condition of the present copy is nothing short of extraordinary very nearly capturing the look and feel of the volumes as they would have appeared on their original shelf. Printed for G. G.
