Melbourne : Masterman, Printer, Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, 1867. Octavo, original printed yellow wrappers (some chipping and foxing to the edges, lacking the lower wrapper), sewn, pp xiv, [2], 6 large format tables of vocabulary (each folding to 460 x 580 mm),the tables detached from the text block, which is perforated along the gutter.
