Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Date on the title page. Printed in the U.S.A. First Printing of the Second, Revised Edition. Translators' Preface, Author's Preface, Detailed Contents, Footnotes, Bibliographical Notes, Index; xii, 333 pages [+ 4 pages ads].

The interior is bright, despite a touch of normal toning, and gentle penciling by my philosopher-father on six pages. There is an impressive-looking signature in ink on the front free endpaper; also the remains of a small label---perhaps a review copy. Top edge gilt.
