[Irving, Washington] Geoffrey Crayon

Bracebridge Hall, 2 volumes

London: John Murray, 1824. Hardcover. New Edition. 2 volumes, bound in full vellum with black leather spine labels, very good, light soil to bindings, a.e.g., inscriptions from John Froude -- possibly the Devon reverend (1777-1852), known as a "hunting parson" who neglected his parish duties in favor of sport, described by one Devon historian as an 'unbearable oaf.' Just the sort lambasted by Irving in this set! Very Good. Item #H7529
