Davies, Successors to Mr. Cadell, 1796 3 volumes in-8 (22,5 x 14 cm) de XLIV-343, (1)-475 et (1)-422-(34) pages. 4 grandes cartes dépliantes et 1 planche dépliante de glyphes de l'ancien Mexique. Reliure de l'époque (vers 1800) veau raciné, dos lisses richement ornés, pièces de titre de maroquin rouge, tomaison ovale de maroquin noir, tranches citron, roulette dorée sur les coupes. Reliure de très belle facture, probablement anglaise.

A noter une petite brûlure sur le bord des plats du deuxième tome (coulure acide), tranche et marge des derniers feuillets tachées sans gravité. Texte en anglais. Nouvelle édition anglaise. Robertson (1721-1793) contributed to the history of Spain and Spanish America in his History of America (1777), "the first sustained attempt to describe the discovery, conquest and settlement of Spanish America since Herrera's Décadas". Cette histoire de l’Amérique depuis l'arrivée de Christophe Colomb jusqu'à la fin de la conquête espagnole est basée sur l'étude de documents historiques solides. On y trouve le récit des conquêtes par Christopher Columbus, Hernando Cortez, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Vasco de Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, Amerigo Vespucci. Les nombreuses notes historiques en fin de chaque volume sont très intéressantes. Les cartes géographiques sont très belles et parfaitement conservées. Provenance : Ex libris gravé monogramme non identifié. Très bel exemplaire conservé dans ses premières reliures en veau raciné.
