1840, Twelfth Edition. London : D'Almaine and Co. Good copy in the original faded green cloth boards, with a printed label to the front (age-toned and dust-dulled, but remaining legible). Boards lightly scuffed and dust-dulled. Corners bumped, with endbands somewhat rubbed. Contemporary reader inscription to front free endpaper. Binding weak from the tail prior to p. 3. Text block remains otherwise strong and clean on the whole, showing only the expected faint foxing of age. A well-preserved example overall. Item #476764
