First illustrated edition. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine. Illustrated with three wood engravings and an illustrated title page. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some marking to the boards, minor wear to the extremities and a small split to the cloth at the head of the spine. The contents with a contemporary previous owner's inscription to the front free endpaper, some foxing to the plates, and a small water mark to the bottom margin of one plate are otherwise in good order and clean throughout. An excellent example of a scarce title.
Provenance: from the library of Martin Stone.
