Octavo, [iv] (additional signed title leaf and statement of limitation), [vi], 293 pages.

Gilt-lettered quarter cloth and marbled papered boards; small patch of light discolouration of the front pastedown, and a larger and slightly darker patch on the rear free endpaper (perhaps where an ownership label and bookplate have been removed, leaving these faint traces); textblock tanned as ever; an excellent copy. The original plain generic glassine dustwrapper has now been replaced with Mylar.
