Leather bound, possibly a rebinding, but not recently.  Covers are worn and
scuffed, with boards showing at the corners and edges.  Spine is chipped
with a few bits missing from the backstrip top and bottom.  Book block is
intact, but with the title page missing.  Some foxing throughout, some marks
in pencil.

I found this edition described on the University of Guelph website.  You
will find a .pdf file of the preface, introduction and 1st page of the 1st
part.  It also has the title page, where this copy is missing the title
page.  The title page dates this to 1797.  The font contains ligatures (s's
that look like f's.)

Simon Fraser Lord Lovat was the last person executed by beheading in Britain
on April 9th, 1747.  These are his memoirs translated from the French.  See
wikipedia for a history of Simon Fraser 11th Lord Lovat.

A very scarce / rare book.
