Reprint, in yellowback format. 361 pages + 2 of ads. Undated but circa 1878. The book is reasonably firmly bound in the original illustrated glazed boards, which are quite bumped, chipped, rubbed and marked. The text block is age toned, slightly foxed, marked and dusty, with cracking at points and a neatly written name to the title page. An uncommon find in this format, produced by an elusive, short-lived, piratically inclined publishing house. It is unclear which translation they used, probably one of the earlier English versions from the 1850s, but certainly neither of the American translations available at this date by Francis G. Shaw or Fayette Robinson. Seller Inventory # 5802
