A Commentary on Herodotus, in Two Volumes by W W How - 1912

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1912. First edition. Hardback. Good/No Jacket. 1156 8vo. Volume 1 ( Books 1 - 4) paginated to xii then 1-446, Volume 2 ( Books 5 - 9) paginated to vii then 1-423; with Introduction and Appendices. Ex-library. Fold-out maps to both volumes (Volume I 4, Volume II 4). There are several essays on specific topics as Appendices. To avoid disappointment and possible returns, perhaps I should add that these volumes do NOT contain Herodotus's text. Condition notes: Library stamp (Magdalen College Oxford) to front and rear paste down of Volume I, which lacks front free end paper. Grubby remnants of library label to front paste down of Volume II, also lacking front free end paper. Boards rubbed and bumped. Binding firm, all maps as called for an in good condition; there is some foxing, almost entirely confined to the verso of the maps or to the margins. The map of Plataea has a tear to the margin, with no loss. A good reading set.
