The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. by Washington Irving Published by John Murray, 1820 Volume 1 - 3rd Edition - 343pp - previous owner\'s name inscribed on title page from 1881Volume 2 - 2nd Edition - 419pp - previous owner\'s name inscribed on title page from 1881The first complete UK edition of these works by Washington Irving (there had been an earlier edition of parts of volume 1 until that publisher went bankrupt. Washington Irving asked Sir Walter Scott for his advice and he encouraged his publishers, John Murray, to take up the reins - hence the dedication to Walter Scott). The covers are in fair condition - volume 2 is slightly worse condition than volume 1 with some disintegration of the front board near to the spine, meaning that this front board is looser than the front board on volume 1. The pages themselves are in a very good condition; incredibly well bound and extremely bright; very minimal foxing.8.25\" x 5.25\"
