Description

First edition, with the often-lacking errata leaf still present. 8vo, in full contemporary dark mottled calf, the the boards with gilt rolled frame and stippled edges, the spine with nicely gilt decorated panels between flat bands, each with a handsome central gilt tool, black morocco label gilt lettered in one compartment, marbled endpapers. 312, [1] pp. An attractive copy, the text very fresh and clean, quite fine really, the binding restored at the hinges and preserving the elegantly tooled original spine, minor age evidence at the extremities.
