A propos de cet article

Please email for Photographs or further information. Good - Original boards, rebacked in pale cloth with printed paper spine label. Boards rubbed, marked, and edge-worn, with bumping to corners and visible wear to extremities; nevertheless an appealing and authentic survival in its original format rather than a later dressed-up binding. Textblock sound and complete. Pages remain untrimmed / roughly cut. Small closed tear to the front free endpaper; minor repair and old inscription to the leaf following the title; occasional foxing and edge discoloration, chiefly concentrated in one localized area as noted in the original seller’s description; a few pencil annotations. Plates all present and generally attractive. A solid, complete, and increasingly uncommon copy of this curious Babylonian antiquarian work. Collation: [4], viii, 164, [5] pp. Complete: engraved title-vignette + 4 engraved plates + list of subscribers + advertisement leaf at end. With engraved title-vignette and 4 engraved plates; the Tanjore plate in this copy is signed "Barlow sculp." and acknowledged as copied from the designs of William Hodges.

A substantial and uncommon early nineteenth-century antiquarian study of Babylon, in which the Rev. Thomas Maurice uses the recent observations of Claudius James Rich to range across Biblical history, ancient astronomy, comparative religion, and the monumental traditions of the ancient world. Complete with engraved title-vignette and four engraved plates, including the supposed ruins of the Tower of Babel, Persepolitan characters, the Great Pagoda of Tanjore, and a Mexican temple to the Sun and Moon. A characterful, unsophisticated first edition in original boards, rebacked, and still very much the sort of copy collectors like: complete, untrimmed, and honest. By The Rev. Thomas Maurice, A.M. Format: Hardcover, quarto (4to 9 1?2 × 12 in 241 × 305 mm ) Note: Binding/size selection follows standard bibliographic conventions and is approximate; exact measurements may vary.
