Item description from seller

VOLUME I ONLY of a two volume set. Collates as [front pastedown], [title leaf i-ii], [contents leaf iii-iv], v-ix, [blank verso], [1-3], 4-48, (page 49 mis-numbered as 46), 50-111, [112-115], 116-131, [132-134], 135-156, [157-158], 159-168, [169-170], 171-192, [rear pastedown]. Hardcover: H 17.25cm x L 10.5cm. Contemporary full dark calf leather binding; boards well rubbed and stained with worn corners; spine head chipped ; surface chipping above and below spine's dark red title label with loss to label center as well but with remaining gilt lettering ("Pe__R | Pindar") still easily legible. Antiquarian ink writing on front pastedown; toning, foxing, staining to leaves with some occasional edge-wear; pages 103-116 strongly creased; long tear to pages 191-192 descending from gutter head 7cm into text with shorter tear at heel gutter at and fore-edge center. Missing front and rear free endpapers and perhaps an adjoining flyleaf or two (stub remnants of free endpapers present but no extra stub indicators of flyleaves); title leaf (as pages i-ii) is first full leaf present. Binding is firm. An OCLC citation (albeit not citing the holding institution) cites size as sextodecimo and pagination as ix, 193 whereas a Library of Congress citation is more specific citing Volume I as "ix, [1], 193, [1]" pages with successive Volume II being "[4], [195]-402." Either way this copy is missing its concluding text leaf (i.e. final text on recto plus blank verso). Bibliographical reference: Evans "Early American imprints; First Series" #23088. The Harvard and Yale online library catalogs share an interesting notation regarding their Spotswood and Rice 1790 stray Volume II copies in that both declare "no copy of v. 1 is known." Obviously this effectively countered by the LoC holding but, nonetheless, the paucity of OCLC listings is a good indictor of rarity of this particular 1790 Philadelphia imprint. It should be noted that Spotswood and Rice also issued a 314 page single volume of "The Poetical Works of Peter Pindar" in 1789 which shares the same pagination error for its page 49.
