8vo. large-paper copy. pp. 1 p.l., vii, 235, [2]index. 1 wood-engraved plate. contemporary morocco, gilt back, all edges gilt (some wear to joints, several surface abrasions to covers, bookplate removed from rear paste-down, dampstain to outer margin of plate, overall a nice copy). bookplate of H.C.Lewis.
