Description
Memoirs of the Court of Augustus. (two volumes). Thomas Blackwell. [1753] first edition; Hamilton; about good antiquarian hardcovers. Illustrated with b/w plates [generally mint profile types of images]. A very scarce two-volume set; text in English. The collection of first-person accounts of select contemporaries of Emperor Augustus. Quarto (or slightly larger) hardcovers in original period calf with raised spine bands and worn ribbon markers. A few inventory markings - light and out of the way. Worn labels; typical rubbing and bumping; moderate to heavy wear at spine extremes. Both boards cracked at front joints, with boards kept in place by internal tan tape of unknown age. Both volumes complete; internally tidy with occasional toning, spotting. Overall, quite a find for the collector, researcher, and/or Rome enthusiast. Thanks for visiting Forgotten Lore.

Well what can I say? This seller was very responsive, reasonable, & even anticipated my request of extra cardboard - they already had it packed super securely before I even messaged. I mean, these books have survived longer than the age of our country (US) and some other seller might have carelessly packed these, thus doing damage in a day or two which had not occurred in centuries. NOT THIS SELLER. They took great care packing these, sent them promptly, and I'm just over the moon! Thank you!
