On May 30th, 2008, the anniversary of Jeanne d’Arc’s death, he phoned to say that he had a gift for my Jeanne d’Arc Collection, and he brought it on June2nd: it was this volume, which he thought should stay with me, not the reference library. A generous and thoughtful gesture. Initialed by hand and dated 6/2/08. Moderate rubbing to leather at corners. One small superficial scuff to front cover. Minor soil to original wrappers; some tanning to pages at extremities with more pronounced tanning to the whole of the contents pages in the rear; a few pages unopened. Very Good.

Rebound with leather spine, red label lettered in gilt; most of original calf laid down on later leather covered boards; new pastedowns and endpapers; a fragment of original leaf (endpaper? ) laid down on front pastedown with ownership description: “Francis Newton Book, given Him at London by His Brother, John Newton,” below which is written “Robert Shepherd, Book 1803″. The last leaf also has further ownership inscriptions on both sides, dated 1755, some in Latin. Top edge of the text block seems to have been shaved in rebinding, as all of the copies located are listed as quarto, this copy 8″ x 6”. Title page soiled, stained with edges heavily chipped, somewhat fragile at the hinge with loss at the top but holding. Dedication page soiled and chipped, with autograph inscriptions on top corner margin in a small hand by Francis Newton, dated 1709, then Robert Shepherd, Stockport, 1779. Leaves 5&6 are separating from the hinge but holding firm below at several stiches. The rest of the text pages soiled particularly at the margins. There is a closed 1.25″ horizontal split at the leading margin on (p. 7) of the Tables in the rear. The last leaf has 1.5″ even loss across the top. Fair condition thus, but the binding is of course tight, and the whole pretty well preserved.
