Fine set with a tiny puncture and a creased lower corner to title page in Vol. I and ownership signatures in pencil to title pages. Overall a gorgeous and clean set. Lady Caroline Lamb's third novel Ada Reis follows the roguish title character who is sold into bondage at a young age and grows to be a hard-drinking and murderous young man. He later receives a prophecy from a sorcerer that he "shall be king in another land" and his illegitimate daughter Fiormonda "shall wear an imperial crown." In Lamb's introduction she writes that the book is the "simple narrative of what occurred to Ada Reis and his daughter that those who read may place the awful record in their hearts and learn to worship God and to be humble in themselves." The narrative is fictionally presented as a real manuscript that has been translated into English from Arabic Spanish and Inga. Lady Caroline Lamb 1785 - 1828 was a novelist best known for her debut work Glenarvon 1816 which caused a sensation when it was published. The book featured a title character based heavily on Lord Byron with whom Lamb had an intense affair with between March and August of 1812. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

417 pages. Index. Appendices. Footnotes. List of sixty black and white illustrations. A rare surviving copy of this important reference, made all the more engaging by today's environment of competing fiat currency devaluations. "Hitherto Numismatists when stydying the Origines of Coinage had confined themselves to the materials presented to them in the earliest money of Lydia, Greece and Italy, and on the other hand the Metrologists had almost completely limited their range of observation to the systems of Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. As the Comparative Method has yielded such excellent results in the study of other human institutions, I have endeavoured by its aid to get some new principles which may throw some fresh light on the first beginnings of monetary and weight systems." - from Preface. Attractive gilt decoration upon green front board. Legible gilt lettering upon backstrip. Average external soiling and wear. Several chips from and lengthy openings along backstrip which has become brittle with age. Narrow opening along most of front hinge. Back hinge open. Bookplate discretely removed inside front board.
