8vo. 471pp. Bound in the publisher’s boards. Slip of paper attached to the front blank, ‘with the compliments of the author’. The philosopher Shadworth Hodgson’s copy, from his library by way of his bequest to Corpus Christie College, Oxford, with his and their bookplates to the front paste down and end paper, a barcode to the front paste down and library label to the bases of the spines, with occasional further library marks. Hodgson's initials to the front blank. Spine a little faded with some wear to the spine ends. Binding sound. Contents tight and clean.
