Description
"Second Edition", but actually the second issue of the first edition, from the same sheets and identical but for the slug on the titlepage, same year as the first. With 22 illustrations and two folding maps. Large, thick 8vo, in the best publisher's binding of maroon cloth, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, gilt pictorial decorations on the upper cover, t.e.g. This copy with the Baronial bookplate of Tredegar House, most likely from the time of Godfrey Morgan, 5th Baron and 1st Viscount of Tredegar. xix, 636pp. A beautifully preserved copy, quite uncommonly so, the cloth fresh and solid, the textblock firm and looking unread, only very minor age mellowing and minor bumping or rubbing to the tips and extremities.
