About This Item
London: Trubner & Co., 1877. Book. Illus. by one plate of ancient coins. Fair. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. A SCARCE title in its original cloth binding with a gilt title on the front. The cloth is faded and stained. It is also some loose on the boards, with pin hole insect damage to the paper within. I suspect the book was in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) for some decades subjected to that unfriendly climate. Pages 69 with index. Folio, almost 13 inches tall..
