Ancient & Modern Scottish Songs 1776 David Herd
Anyone know what this book is worth?
I can email pictures if necessary. This book was first published in 1769 as one volume and it was expanded to two volumes in 1776. This is volume 2 only of the 1776 edition. The book is 283 pages in total and measures 7¼ x 4¼ inches. It was printed in Edinburgh by John Wortherspoon for James Dickson and Charles Elliot. The covers are made of leather as is the spine which has raised bands. The spine shows some signs of wear. The book itself is solidly bound. The cover corners are rubbed. There is staining around the perimeter of the front free endpapers and rear free endpaper. One of the free endpapers bears the wording 'Scots Songs'. There are two title pages. There are 239 pages of poetry, songs and ballads followed by a 34 page glossary and a 10 page index. Overall the pages are very bright. There is minimal foxing to the book. Approximately 10 pages are darkening and have staining in the right margin which does not impact the wording. There is no evidence of tearing. |
