[BOID (Capt. Edward)]. TRAVELS THROUGH SICILY AND THE LIPARI ISLANDS, IN 
THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, 1824. BY A NAVAL OFFICER. London: T. Flint, 1827. 
First Edition. Octavo (5-1/4" x 8-1/4") bound in later calf and marbled 
boards with new endpapers and a gilt-lettered and decorated spine; xvi, 
367 pages. Illustrated with a lithographed frontispiece, bound after the 
title page here, and 11 plates, including 4 hand-colored costume plates, 
by Louis Haghe. A scarce title that rarely comes up for sale. Slight 
worming in the gutter of some leaves and the outer margin of one plate, 
not affecting the text. Foxing, mostly moderate, heaviest to title page 
and a few plates. Binding solid with some rubbing to the hinges and 
spine tips. Very Good.
Abbey, Travel, 265: "This was probably Louis Haghe's first work in 
England, done at the age of twenty-one." (#018487) $1,500.00
