FIRST EDITION. 1st printing. Two Volumes. 8vo. (8.7 x 5.7 inches). A small brown stain to the very edge of about a dozen leaves at the beginning of volume one, but well away from the text block, otherwise a clean, bright and tight set in the publishers original dark blue cloth. Boards with double blind rules to top and bottom. Spines ruled and lettered in gilt. Previous owner name to the front blank pastedown and a couple of short notes to the rear free endpaper of volume one, which also has a circular mark to the cloth on the front board. Some light rubbing to the extremities but overall a nice presentation of this important work.
