Contemporary full calf, amateurishly rebacked with later calf. Binding worn, soiled, hinges cracking, free endpapers missing, a few gutters starting, a few text leaves a bit loose, text toned with occasional foxing, soiling. Fair. Later edition of this story of this beggar and con artist – including information about Carew’s travels in the United States. Carew was an ”inveterate rogue who operated confidence games among colonial suckers from Virginia to Connecticut.” (Howes C132).
