Orig. published in 1847 (with original Preface to that edition included), this is the Second Edition from 1854, with a new Preface that defends the necessity of offering such an edition."no apology is necessary."

Front hinge was repaired long ago with cloth tape; quite unobtrusive. Worst flaw is foxing, heavy at times, throughout book. Corners mildly bumped, very slight edgewear. Gilt on spine is bright & crisp. Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
