Item description from seller

First edition. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author. Large 8vo. Publisher's original brown buckram, tooled front panel, bevelled boards, gilt lettered to front and spine, a couple of small snags to head, signs of splitting to rear side of backstrip, hinges are starting and a touch fragile, webbing exposed to rear, in spite of these faults the contents are generally clean and tight, inscribed upon the dedication page to John Lloyd Esq. from Henry Bohn, also with a 3-side folded ALS loosely inserted; a "copy of note" from John Lloyd on address-headed paper from 50 Brunswick Square, Brighton, to Henry G. Bohn Esq., North End House, Twickenham, thanking him for receipt of the book; a nice association with the famous Victorian publisher. The recipient may have been the Welsh barrister John Lloyd (1833-1915) who in 1864 had captained the South Wales Cricket Club on tour against the Gentleman of Sussex at the Royal Brunswick Ground, a match in which a 15 year old W. G. Grace hit 170 runs. This prominent reference book ran to at least four editions. xxiii, 715pp.
