With half title pages.
First edition in Spanish of Hume's History of England, originally published in English in six quarto volumes between 1754 and 1762; volume five of this set contains the continuations by Smollett, Adolphus and Aikin. This is only the second translation of a Hume text into Spanish, the first being the "Discursos politicos" of 1789.
Although the title page of the first 3 volumes announces 32 engraved plates, only 17 were included. Some of the plates appear to be sourced from an early 19th-century French edition of Hume's work, the illustrations being done by French illustrator and artist Tony Johannot.
Title page slightly varies (v. 1-4); v. 5 has title: Historia de Inglaterra, desde el reinado de Guillermo III (año de J.C. 1689), hasta el advenimiento de Alejandrina Victoria al trono en 1837, redactada segun los testos de Smollet y otros autres autores, por el Baron de Roujoux, puesta en Castellano por D. Andrés T. Manglaez.
"Ensayo sobre la vida y escritos de David Hume": v. 1, p. [vii]-xxxiii.
