With a frontispiece engraving in each volume. 8vo, bound in modern brown cloth, the spines lettered and numbered in gilt. xx, 386; vi, 412 pp. A good and solid copy of the true first edition, the later cloth bindings are strong and without chipping or damage, the text-block generally very clean and tight and well preserved with only very occasional evidence of spotting, prelims with some mellowing as is typical, small old unobtrusive stamp to the title-pages and verso of the plates. .
