- Two volumes, each 16mo, 5-7/8 inches high by 3-3/4 inches wide. Bound in full vintage mottled tan calf titled in gilt with elaborate formal and floral gilt decorations on the spines and with triple gilt rules framing the covers. All edges are marbled. The covers are slightly rubbed and scuffed with wear to the corners and head and tail of the spines. The second volume's spine is lightly stained. 359 pages; and 370 pages respectively, illustrated with a total of 9 plates consisting of an engraved frontispiece to the first volume plus 4 engraved plates in each volume. The marbled endpapers and pastedowns are rubbed and soiled and there is some occasional minor soiling internally. Very good.
