A GOOD, CLEAN, TIGHT SCHOLAR/COLLECTOR-WORTHY COPY. Green buckram binding with gold gilt lettering on spine.

But, as page after page was added to my note-book, and read occassionally to one and another, it began to be suggested that they ought not be confined to the few, but should be published in a volume and given to the many. Thus the present book came into being." 299 pages followed by 11 pages of advertisements for other Sheldon & Co. publications. GD1.…
