About this Item

Hardcover without dust jacket, later 1904 printing of this assumed First Edition thus, viii + 495 pages (Chapters XXVIII - LVI) including 12 pages of "Notes Chiefly Topographical" and 12 full page llustrations, plus a 40-page "A Catalogue of Books Published by Methuen and Company: London, 36 Essex Street, W. C." dated September 1904; also please note that while I have referenced an Introduction, it is actually included in Volume I, not this Volume II;---elegant book in red cloth covers with Rochester Edition embossed on front cover, very bright and clear gilt spine lettering and decoration to spine, top edge also in gilt, hardly a trace of shelf wear other than gentle bumps to spine ends, foxing spots to fore edge but oddly to last quarter only from about page 388 to end with barely visible penetration to the outer margins of some pages, free front endpaper torn from book, otherwise very gently used, tight in binding, very clean and unmarked throughout, pages surprisingly fresh and white considering vintage.
