The gilt tooling and red morocco label remain legible. Internally there is foxing and toning throughout the text block consistent with a book of this age. The structure is sound and the marbled endpapers and edges retain their decorative character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51255491690774,"sku":"AMD-02957","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/April_2026-5778.jpg?v=1777410954","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/1840-william-robertson-the-history-of-scotland","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
