London: Macmillan, 1879. 2nd Revised & rewritten ed. . Blue Cloth. VG for age/No Jacket. 15 Cm x 22.5 Cm. xxxix+583, numerous unnumbered text ills, inc.occ. full page; main internal fault is occasional brown flecking, verging on heavier browning a few places, technically ex-lib. as verso t.p. has an early university library stamp overstamped 'withdrawn', however no other indiciations whatsoever of lib.provenance inside or out. Vocer boards bright and minimally worn, spine somewhat darkened with a few marks plus some end rubbing;, very close scrutiny reveals this has been very skillfully relaid, with a consequent implication that the very clean endpapers may also not be original. An extremely scarce and ambitious work, previously issued in 1869 in 2 volumes.
