Offered for sale: The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, Volume VI | London: J. Limbird, 143 Strand | 1825. A complete 1825 volume of this celebrated Regency periodical, offering a fascinating mix of early 19th-century topography, biography, and woodcut engravings. Binding & Condition: Bound in period half-calf over marbled boards with a gilt-lettered crimson title label. The binding shows honest wear—typical scuffing to the marbled paper and softening at the corners—but remains structurally sound. Internal State: The text block is notably clean on heavy-stock paper, featuring the full Preface and various illustrations, including the Cathedral Church of St. Germains. There is light, characteristic foxing throughout, as expected of a 200-year-old volume. A genuine, unrestored example of 1820s publishing. Please see photos for a closer look at the patina and plate. Purchase with Confidence: I take great care in sourcing my items from reputable collections so that you can buy with peace of mind. I’m always here to help with any questions you might have and usually respond within a few hours. If you’re interested in other items, I’m more than happy to combine shipping to save you some cost. Thank you for looking, Adam Charles
