Description:
Original full gilt-ruled calf with late eighteenth century rebacking. Previously repaired hinges now weak. Queer (but continuous) collation due to various printers: [xii], 239 [blank], 255-286; 189-210, [1]. All edges heavily gilt. Occasional but numerous interesting scholia in a light pen giving very detailed corrections to text which were (significantly) incorporated into later editions. General browning of the text; fore-edge corners bumped; general wear to boards. Remnants of cancel at page 122. Page 213 is supposed to be page 123. Page 181 lacks corner not affecting text. Nonetheless a handsome copy. ; Harrington's economic basis for government had a profound effect on the framers of the constitution. A copy of the Commonwealth is known to have been bought by Thomas Jefferson prior to his departure for France. Kevin Hayes (The Road to Monticello) calls it the most important book Jefferson bought from the famous Byrd library for the formation of his political thought. Additional images… Read More
