Item History & Price
Antique 1795 Leather Bound Book THE WORLD DISPLAYED Or A Curious Collection Of Voyages And Travels Selected And Compiled From The From The Writers Of All Nations By Smart, Goldsmith & Johnson Vol. III 1st American Edition EXTREMELY RARE!!
This 18th Century book measures 8 by 5 inches and has 487 pages. It is in excellent condition for its age. There is obvious surface wear to the cover but it remains solidly intact. Inside the front cover are a few numbers written lightly in pen...cil that I chose not to erase. The pages have yellowed with age and a few pages have small areas of soiling. A couple of pages have a large pencil X mark through them (see photo 6). However, all of the pages are secure to the binding. The rear flyleaf page is missing a corner (see photo 7) but there was no printed material on this page. It is a true testament to the quality of craftsmanship that this book is in this fine condition for being over 220 years old. This book is Volume 3 of an original 8 volume set and is a First American Edition. The country was 19 years old when this book was published. This book is extremely rare and should be in a museum. Please review the photos. All offers considered.
