Located in Hillsborough, NJ
Author: Robinson, Mary. Title: Hubert de Sevrac, a Romance of the Eighteenth Century. Publisher: London: for the Author by Hookham and Carpenter, 1796. Description: First edition. 3 vols., 6-13/16" x 4-7/16", errata at the end of each vol., advertisement leaf at the end of vol. 3, vol. 2 M6 with early repaired tear at foot, without the half-titles, bound in fine contemporary full speckled calf, floral gilt decorated spines, gilt lettered red and green spine labels, covers ruled in gilt. Condition: Internally clean and bright, armorial bookplate of Sir John Eden to front pastedowns, extremely minor foxing to first and last leaves, inner and outer hinges fine, head and foot of spines fine, a handsom set.
