A four volume set beautifully bound in textured green leather with, to the spines, 4 raised bands, gilt titles & gilt decoration to the other panels; front & rear covers have, in gilt, triple outer border lines inside which is a further gilt-tooled decorative border with a blind-tooled border within; dentelle edges; marbled end-papers.

Through a printer's error, it came to be known, and is still known, as "the Jarvis translation". It was the most scholarly and accurate English translation of the novel up to that time & became the most frequently reprinted version until about 1885.
