A neat antique school/pocket edition of Book I of Milton's epic Paradise Lost, edited with a scholarly introduction and notes by M. Macmillan, Professor of Logic and Moral Philosophy at Elphinstone College, Bombay. Includes the author's preface "On the Verse," the Argument, notes, and appendix — a handy compact companion for students of the poem.

Details

Condition:

A well-worn antique copy, consistent with its age. Red cloth boards are faded and rubbed with noticeable soiling and edgewear to the spine tips and corners; blind-stamped title lettering on the front board is faint. Text block is generally clean with light foxing and a few small stains to the front free endpaper area; a pressed four-leaf clover and small dried floral sprig are found tucked between the pages as found (naturally occurring, not part of the original book). Binding remains firm and square. Overall a charming, honestly-worn reading/display copy.
