1809, First Edition. London : Printed for Thomas Tegg. Poor copy in contemporary half leather over marble boards, now very heavily worn overall with substantial surface loss to both marbled papers and leather. Front board shows a heavy abrasion. Internally much better: tight and clean, save for the faint dust-dulling expected of age. Plates collated, and all present. Remains a very serviceable copy overall. Item #458680
