2 volumes. First edition. With a fold-out table in volume one. 8vo, full contemporary polished calf ruled in gilt, the spine with raised bands ruled and tooled in gilt and with tan morocco lettering labels in gilt. xiv, 412; 382 [index] pp. A very handsome set, beautifully bound at the time and in especially pleasing condition, minor evidence of age or use.
