First Edition. Brown cloth, bevelled boards. Some light foxing, but a very good copy. In the scarce second binding style, with publisher's imprint at foot of spine in lower case italics; as Smith, Elder's records state that all 2,500 copies were bound at the same time, its existence is something of a mystery.
