Engraved frontispiece and seven additional engravings throughout the book 32mo (4x2.5 inches), original paper wrappers. 29 + [3] pp. [first and last leaf pasted to wrappers as is correct according to OCLC. A very good copy in absolutely original state though the title page has been torn across and below the title and this section is now lacking. This is a rare book with only a few copies recorded of any of the editions. Covers detached.
