First edition thus. Sextodecimo in soft green faux leather boards, decorated end papers, gilt decoration on the front board, 215 pages including appendixes.

Board corners are worn at the ends, with the front lower corner jammed with the leather and inside past down separated at about 1/2". The board wrap is split at the bottom of the spine and along the front lower edge for about 2 1/2". Showing a little wear, but still a nice, pleasant, almost antique volume!
