Description from the seller

L'An deux mille quatre cent quarante. Réve s'il en fut jamais. 3 volumes complete – [Louis-Sébastien Mercier]

[Paris]: No publisher mentioned, 1786. 3 volumes: Vol I: xvi, 380 pages, Vol II: 381 pages, Vol III: 312 pages. 20cm x 12cm. Leather binding with gilt-framed boards, gilt decorated and lettered spines, and marbled endpapers. Third edition of this first utopian novel, with a full-page frontispiece engraving in each volume.
Rubbing, bumping, and wear to the boards and spines. Bookseller’s sticker in the front pastedown endpapers as well as pencil markings in the front flyleaves and throughout the text in Vol I. There is a large tear on page 183/184 in Vol I. that does affect the text (see photo). In Vol II the half title page is partially stuck to the front free endpaper. Browning and spotting throughout as usual. The text and illustrations are clear, and the binding is solid in all three volumes. Overall, a nice set in good condition.
