Octavo (23.5cm); publisher's blue gilt-lettered cloth; 1 leaf [title page],iv,[1-5],6-38,[1]-185pp; blue and white frontispiece, text printed using blue ink throughout. Moderate wear to cloth margins with some fraying along bottom edges and spine ends, brief scattered soil to rear cover, textblock uniformly toned and one early gathering starting; overall a Very Good example of this rare work.
