Hardcover. Condition: Good+. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A very good ex-library copy with few indicators. The hardcover binding is tight and square with some rubbing to extremities. The text is clean and unmarked. The cover decoration is taken from that on O'Donel's Life of St Columba in the Library of the Franciscan Monastery, Dublin. Each of the 50 full-page collotype plates is preceded by a title-page in red and black with a letterpress description on the verso, facing the plate. This book is over-sized and will thus require additional shipping costs on all international orders. Seller Inventory # 001110

Condition: Used - Good. 1895. Hardcover. 4to, xii pp. + 50 collotype plates, each with a page of identifying text en face. Bound in full calf (dark tan) by Morley of Oxford; spine in five compartments, with raised bands. Ruled and decorated in blind, with gilt lettering on spine. Front cover has some spotting, and a few fragments of a paper slipcase have adhered in the same area. Extremities gneerally rubbed and soewhat worn, and front hinge weakening from the outside, with a partial seperation of the leather near the top. The very heavy marbled endpapers are unaffected, however, so the volume could easily stand much careful use by an individual. An institutional buyer would probably want to restore the weakend hinge. Internally, a very clean and crisp copy, with the plates in excellent condition. Good. Seller Inventory # S23361
