Reading: Bradley and Son, 1891-1892. 1st Edition . Good. 7.75 x 11.25 inches (20 x 28 cm). Complete two volume set. Quarter parchment with green cloth boards. Foxing to spines.

A few pencilled margin markings to text. A very scarce work, list of subscribers in Volume I has 70 copies and in Volume II has 76 copies.
