By Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras.
The book measures approx, 10cm(4") by 16.5cm(6.5") and contains 497 pages.
This is the second volume (Of A Three Volume Set)of the
rare first edition.
This publication was the inspiration behind Alexander Dumas' "Three Musketeers."
The book, has a couple of faults;
The title page is a little damaged and detatched, pages 217-230 are detatched but present and the first page has a short, 4cm horizintal rip.
the above points aside, the remaining text block is complete, tightly bound and in a very good condition.
the original full leather bindings are a little edge worn and bumped with firm joints.
