First US edition, in one volume. 8vo. xii (last blank), 13-370pp, [8] (publisher's advertisments), frontispiece and 5 other engraved plates. Original dark blue cloth, decorated in blind and lettered in gilt on the spine and upper board; the spine (cloth) rather faded, corners slightly rubbed. All edges tinted blue. A crude repair to the fore-margin of pp 81/82 has obscured some letters at the end of the lines on the former. A few light spots of foxing. Owner's bookplate and bookseller's small ink stamp on front endpapers. A good to very good clean copy. ***Ferguson 12507.
