A propos de cet article

Large Folio, 387 x 250 mm [15 ¼ x 9 ¾ inches], early (contemporary?) binding of half leather over marbled paper boards, the spine with gilt rules, raised bands and black leather label lettered in gold. [i-iv] 1 - 922 pp [i-vii + viii] (Table of the Trials + pub. adv.) Covers with general light wear at edges, professionally rebacked, binding tape to front & rear interior hinges; pages 121-124 neatly inserted from another copy. Very good overall, sound and clean throughout. Note: This is a massive, heavy folio volume; postage to overseas destinations would entail significant extra postage costs. Salmon's four-volume Compleat Collection of State-Tryals was first issued in 1719; he revised this to a one-volume "New Abridgement" in 1735; here reprinted in 1737. The final edition of this work was published in 1765.
