Description

"Stater re-creates the desperate aristocratic world pf late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth century Britain. in which incivility and moral turpitude held sway beneath a thin veneer of aristocratic manners." In near fine, clean and bright internal order. Small ink mark to front pastedown. Smart grey paper-covered boards with blue cloth to spine, very lightly faded at base. VG unclipped d/j. Brown 'stains' are part of the jacket design (I've seen enough books where they are real!). 8vo. ixx, 322pp
