Condition

Very Good: Original leather binding shows light wear, with minor rubbing and slight bumping to extremities. Spine gilt remains clear, with black label intact; some worming visible, with small areas of surface loss at the head and tail. Boards remain generally clean, with a scratch to the rear and faint marking to the front. Binding square and firm. Internally, pages show mild handling and light creasing consistent with past moisture exposure; no loss or structural damage. Otherwise clean and bright throughout. Plates and engraved tailpieces remain in good order. A well-preserved and presentable copy overall.

Description

New engraved edition, published by Whittingham, London, 1800, illustrated with 4 full-page plates and 11 wood-engraved tailpieces. Whittingham editions are noted for their quality of printing and decorative detail. Early illustrated editions of The Man of Feeling are increasingly scarce in original leather bindings, particularly in sound condition. A desirable copy for collectors of 18th-century literature and finely printed editions.

The Man of Feeling is a sentimental novel that follows the gentle and introspective Harley, whose encounters with the hardships of others reveal both the depth of human compassion and the fragility of sensibility. The work exemplifies the late 18th-century cult of sentiment, emphasizing empathy, virtue, and emotional responsiveness.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
