Cloth very lightly rubbed and bumped; acidic text paper discoloured (mainly around the margins, as ever); a near-fine copy.

The first publication of these important foundation journals. Ferguson 10475 (noting only the frontispiece portrait). Provenance: James Angas Johnson (1875-1947, a great-grandson of George Fife Angas), with his armorial bookplate. A couple of marginal notes in pencil are presumably in his hand.
