Anonymous - A Legend of Another World - Sampson Low & J. Maynard, 1832, First Edition.

London, Sampson Low & J. Maynard, 1832. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. Very uncommon and a rare work of early interplanetary fiction. "A retelling of the history of Earth set on Venus, much of it in the Biblical version with all of its eutopian and dystopian elements." [Sargent, Utopian Literature in English]. No copies located in commerce. Three copies located in UK institutions. Some sunning to the boards, some bumping to the spine tips and corners. Short tear to the foreedge. A book that warrants further attention. [12230, Hyraxia Books].
