First edition. Lacking the 5 leaves of plates. 18 woodcut illustrations in the text. 8vo. Original brown cloth, decorated in black and lettered in gilt. Very small nick to head of upper board. Slight bumping to corners. Very good. viii, 342pp 2ads.pp. London, Seeley, Jackson & Halliday, 1873.
This copy lacks the five leaves of plates called for. There is no evidence to suggest that they’ve been removed, and as such this may have been a remainder copy of the first edition, bound without the plates.
