Original green cloth with titles and peacock design in gilt to the upper board and spine. All edges gilt. Green coated endpapers. A lovely near copy, the binding firm with only light bumping at the spine tips, the spine a touch rolled, the gilt bright and unworn. The contents with an 1894 previous owner's inscription to the half title are otherwise remarkably clean throughout being without the foxing usually encountered with this title.
