Second edition. Original cloth, fine condition. [6], VIII,133, [6] pp., photographic plates. Signed by author on verso of the foreward to the second edition. This is a reprinting of the 1924 first edition, with no change to the title page. The only indications that this is not that edition are the different collation (133 pp. v. 124) and the presence of a leaf with a forward by Henry M. Stewart, following the title page, which identifies this as the second edition, with an acknowledgement of George N. Hyatt who is said to have started work on this project in 1938. There are far fewer listings for this issue than the first edition, but it is not clear if that is a function of scarcity or of cataloguers not going beyond the title page to date this book. Howes D342 puts the date of a reprint as 1946. Riling 1959: "A standard reference work on the subject, not surpassed to date.".
