A propos de cet article

thick 4to. later quarter brown leather over pebbled cloth-covered boards, original cover title and date laid-down. Frontispiece,352; 168 pages. Two volumes bound in one as issued. First edition (Annenberg p.83; Bigmore & Wyman I,167). Minor rubbing to the extremities of the binding, publisher's binding instructions on front pastedown, foxing to the frontispiece and title page, heavy dampstain to the top corner of pages 15-22, else a near fine copy.

With original presentation bookplate which has been filled in with ink noting that this was copy number 141 issued March 1st, 1882 to Mr. John Kirkpatrick of Cambridge, Ohio". A well-preserved copy.

The idea was repeated in 1882 and David always termed this catalogue the crowning work of his career."--Annnenberg.
