Bruce, ou le Don Quichotte de L'Amitié. Traduit de L'anglais par P. Chanin.
-
First edition (French translation). Three volumes (complete text). This seems to be a French translation of "The Amicable Quixote; Or, the Enthusiasm of Friendship" (although we have no idea where the "Bruce" came from)! The English original was published in four volumes by J. Walker of London, 1788. This edition, in three volumes has a leather spine, with gilt decoration. There is some loss to the head of volume two and nicking to the bottom edge. Marbled boards with some rubbing to them. Half titles, with printer details to the verso. Followed by title. Slight edgewear with small closed tears to the titles and half titles of volume I & II. Binding is slightly shaken, but holding. Pages are mostly clean, with a touch of foxing / marking to them. But overall, in decent, clean condition. Each title page has the ownership signature "Rosely" to the top edge. (iv), 9-282., [iv], 5-294., [iv], 5-275. pp. 17cm x 10cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 1388629075. This states only library holding at Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. (Munich). This copy has a frontis engraving to volume one - our copy does NOT have this. No copies for sale at the time of cataloguing. .
