The very scarce first edition of this work.With the bookplate of Victorian-era novelist Anthony Trollope to the front pastedown, together with the presence of the ink inscription 'R.B.' to the head of the bookplate. This inscription marks this as a work from the library of Trollope's dear friend Robert Bell. Bell died in 1867, and to help Bell's widow, Trollope purchased his friend's books at his own generous valuation.With three pages of advertisements to the rear.In the publisher's original cloth, rebacked retaining the original back strip, boards and endpapers.

Rebacked, in the publisher's original cloth binding, with back strip laid down and retaining the original boards and endpapers. Bookplate to front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound.
