1823646841823. ROLLIN Charles. ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE EGYPTIANS CARTHAGINIANS ASSYRIANS BABYLONIANS MEDES AND PERSIANS MACEDONIANS AND GRECIANS. Translated from the French. In Two Volumes. Vol. I & II. A New and Improved Edition from the London edition of 1819 with a translation of such notes and quotations as are not rendered in the text and the reduction of the various denominations of coins weights and measures to those of the United States. Illustrated with engravings of Egyptian antiquities &c. And a complete set of ancient geography. Boston: Printed and Published by Samuel Walker Harlem PLace No. 29 Newbury Street. 1823. Engraved title-page in each volume; illustrated with 16 engraved plates and 7 engraved maps some are folded. Two quarto volumes: 614li624 pp.; 212630 pp. Nineteenth century full calf black labels and gilt decoration at spine marbled endpapers. In v. 2 two ink ownerships on the the verso of the engraved title have been crossed through and one has been excised from the title-page leaving a hole near the title. Almost all plates show light to moderate foxing; a few plates have marginal tears or dampstaining; one plate is torn with loss. The maps are generally clean; one map is detached. The paper quality is very good overall despite some sections which have browned and are foxed. In v. 1 two leaves E2 & 3B are torn and missing text and the final free endpaper is missing. The bindings are very edgeworn and scuffed with joints starting. Volume 1 shows loss at heel and crown. A serviceable set but offered with all faults. Of interest but not pertaining to the historical subject is a misogynous poem "The Bachelor's Soliloquy" which is laid-down in v. 1. Written by the Bard of Tower Hall and meant to be a droll advertisement for Bennet's Tower Hall Clothing Bazaar it has several stanzas about the dangers of choosing a bride due to the vanity and cupidity of women and the general expense of keeping one. It is followed by a note also in verse from the bard proclaiming fond love for "ladies fair" but ends with the following couplets: Then ladies and gents if you'll regard / The facts I have been naming / We shall have no need of Lucy Stones / On woman's rights declaiming. unknown
