Farnborough UK / Paris: Gregg International Publishers Limited / Imprimerie Imperiale, 1863. Hardcover. Photo-reproduction, very clear with an enormous folded map bound in at the back. Ex-library with a prominently displayed "withdrawn" stamp and a "loan stack" note to copyright page. There are no external numerals or other add-ons, no pockets, and very little sign of use. Front free endsheet bears relevant penciling, which we could have erased but did not. The stubbed map has an inch-long tear at gutter attachment; we investigated gingerly and find no further damage, that the map is primarily of Cambodia, executed in the 19thC. Hardcover in red cloth boards gilt-titled, slight edgewear to casing and a bulge where map is housed. For an ex- library book, a very good specimen.
