First edition. 8vo. pp. [xxxvi], 655, [i]. With imprimatur leaf before title. Some very faint spotting, occasional smudgy marks to bottom margin, mark to pp.306-8 (possibly wax) blurring a few letters on p,307. An old bookseller’s catalogue description tipped in after title-page. Near contemporary brown polished sheep, gilt fillet borders, neatly rebacked with new label, hinges repaired. Corners a little worn but still very good. Three ownership inscriptions to front paste-down: Peter Brooke and Sudall(?), Coll. Eman., both in an old hand, and beneath them ‘Cat. bought Nov. 1903, H.S.J.’.
