1796 printing of Humes' History of England

I am sharing some pages from my favorite old tome...  It's not my favorite because of the topic but because of the paper!  This is an original copy of Humes' History of England Vol.4, which was printed in 1796.  The paper is very thin and fragile and the text is vintage in it's language and lettering (sorry, all of the images are gone).  I'm offering pages of text from this book for 25 cents each or 5 for $1 (US) but will consider trading for ephemera. Send a SASE to: Beckie Holso, PO Box 212735, Chula Vista, CA 91921.  Pages are 4-3/4" x 8-1/2" so send a larger envelope if you don't want them creased. Please email me for details at: artbeckons at hotmail dot com.
