[2], 192pp. Rebound in later half-morocco and marbled paper over boards, raised bands, spines in five panels, flower device to first and fifth panels, title to second, author to fourth, with repeated flower head pattern to larger third panel, date to foot, t.e.g., marbled endpapers.

Slightly rubbed to extremities, internally lightly browned with occasional light foxing to margins and fore-edge of text block. Previous owner's book plate to front pastedowns. Bound without the adverts, making the issue number impossible to ascertain, so possibly a later impression.
