(CRUIKSHANK, GEORGE.) Bowring, Sir John. Minor Morals for Young People. 20 etched plates by Cruikshank and 8 by William Heath. 3 volumes. 8vo, original paper boards with spine labels (though label on Vol 1 appears to be slightly different, perhaps a later addition), slight loss of paper at spine ends and tips, few joints tender or starting, but unusually good; mostly unopened; custom clamshell box. London: Whittaker & Co., 1834-35-39

rare first edition in original boards. A very few copies of the first printing were bound in canvas. Volume 1 is scarce and is usually found reprinted, with a facsimile frontispiece. A lovely set. Cohn 87.
