About this Item

This edition not in Haskell. 21 x 12.5 cm., xxii, 25-517 pp., illustrated (with mostly humorously over-the-top illustrations and maps), fair, ex-library with obtrusive marks but very solidly rebound in green cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. An extensive (14 page) and useful table of contents since the organization of the book is unusual. For instance the discussion of Wilkes ends 6 page into the 15 page Chapter XI. This copy is fine for reading and allows its reader to see exactly what the interested but impecunious person could have in the early Victorian period.
