Description:
London: Simpkin, Marshall & Co [1847-1849; 1852]. Four volumes, 12mo, pp 438; 428; 416; 412, the first three volumes very good, tight and clean internally, original green blind-stamped publisher's cloth just very slightly rubbed; the last volume similarly bound, but cloth a bit worn, and at one time I suspect that the covers have been detached and have now been glued back in rather than a proper re-casing, with the result that the book is more difficult to open and will, almost certainly, break again with use. Nevertheless, the work rarely turns up for sale, and normally only in single volumes when it does.. First Edition. Cloth. Good.
