Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Folio. Brown cloth, gilt. Spine slightly worn at head and tail, corners rubbed. Dedicated "To The Prince Imperial of France, a very good little Boy, this book, a souvenir of a pleasant visit to Paris, is, with his august Papa's gracious consent, inscribed as a reward for progress in his English studies by his friends & well wishers".
