Early edition. Small octavo. Handsome contemporary tan half calf over marbled boards; the spine with five raised bands, compartments richly decorated in gilt, and with titles in gilt. Marbling to page edges. Marbled endpapers. Engraved frontispiece and additional engraved title page with vignette illustration. (xvi), 331, (1)pp. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a touch of wear to the joints. The contents with a very slight crack to the front hinge between the front pastedown and front free endpaper, a faint minor crease to the bottom margin of the first few pages, and some light scattered foxing to the preliminary pages are otherwise in very good order. A lovely copy.
