London, Macmillan and Co., 1872.
Octavo, [ii], xxiv, 333 pages with 2 illustrations plus 2 mounted Woodburytypes (70 × 110 mm, 'Forum Romanum, Showing the extent of the recent excavations'; and 110 × 80 mm, 'Monoliths of red and grey Egyptian Granite ... Piazza of St Mark, Venice').
Original cloth slightly rubbed and marked, with the head and foot of the spine slightly snagged; uncut edges a little foxed; inner hinges cracked but firm; scattered foxing (heavier on the mounts of the two plates and the facing pages, caused by the still-present tissue-guards); slight loss to the top margin of two leaves (from inexpert opening); an excellent copy.
