Title: Journal of the Private Life and ... Publisher: Henry Colburn. Publication Date: 1824. Binding: Hardcover. Book Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket. This is the Henry Colburn (London) 1824 publication, a new edition, in 4 volumes, of Count de Las Cases' Journal of the Private Life and Conversations of the Emperor Napoleon at Saint Helena (375, 376, 384 and 318 pages), 8 parts in 4 volumes, with 8 illustrations, some in color, and two fold-out maps. The cover (app. 6" x 9,125") is in good overall condition, with straight red leather spines that have five raised bands, gilt titles in applied black backgrounds, volume numbers also in gilt. There are several scuffs to the leather, and a missing edge to one title label, but they are clean overall, and solidly attached to the insides. The marbled boards have surface scuffs and slight edge wear, but no notable stains or significant chips. The leather outside corners have wear at the tips, but they're securely attached and with only slight fade. The end pages and page edges are foxed. Most page faces throughout the book bodies have little or no foxing. Most of this is bleed in from the foxing to the page edges. The gilt page top edges are slightly faded, but clean and without tears or creases. There are a few cracked gutters, but the binding is secure, with no loose or missing pages. I've found a few pencil notations to the blank end pages. I believe this is the only writing.
