F.C. And J. Rivington et al., London, 1819. Lovely little 16mo cloth bound hardcover of Essays, Moral, Economical, and Political, by Francis Bacon. 387 pages.
Previously owned by James Millatt (1804-1879) of Elsing, Norfolk, England. He married Susanna Dack, a fine lass, in October 1836, and together they are known to have born 4 sons and 5 daughters. Are you his descendant looking for his books? He is now buried in Billingford, Norfolk, England should you want to return this book to him.
I don't care much for stuffy bookseller terms like "16mo" so let me just state this book measures about 4 1/4-inches by 6 3/4-inches.
Very Good. Tightly bound with some isolated soiling to the covers and a few knicks to the corners. Interior pages very crisp. A wonderfully preserved antiquarian book.
