Beschreibung

A fair copy of the 1st edition in newer quarter buckram binding with folding map at the rear. The binding is clean and sound. The boards are marbled - with what could be the original marbling - and have light wear to edges and corners. The spine has gilt titles and date. The endpapers and initial and final blanks are newer. Contents with title; dedication; preface 2 pp; contents 3pp; errata 1 p; text pp 1-343; appendix 345-418; large folding map at rear. The paper quality is quite poor being toned, with general marking - particularly in the margins. Pages 228-229 have some foxing. The title and dedication pages have both been attached to new paper to bind them in, and there is paper repair in the gutter to the contents pages. There is damage to side edges (no loss of text) at p 15, and 301-2. There are some small repaired edge tears. There is a pin head indentation in the top margin pp 100-136 and mid text pp 391-401. There is a small hole in p399 with the loss of one letter of text. Final leaves have some corner turning. The map is complete with some repair at folds and at the attachment.
