Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Sir Philip Sidney.
Book Description
Second edition. Pp. viii, 9-400 + engraved portrait frontispiece. A little light foxing towards front and rear but generally very good indeed.

A bit rubbed, some scratches, small piece of marbling lost to upper board, good overall.
Bookplate of Robert Mackenzie Marshall to front paste-down, along with tiny yellow paper label ‘Folthorp Royal Library Brighton’. To blank endpaper, ms gift inscription, ‘Catherine Mary Perceval, June 20 1849 from her affectionate Uncle, W.W. Drummond.’
