First edition, binding variant. Tall 8vo., orig. green cloth (darker that usual) with decoration in black on upper cover, blind on rear, with elaborate gilt decoration on the spine, yellow e/papers, xvi, 333pp. Inner hinges cracked, some light wear o/w very good. The lack of gilt decoration on the upper cover would seem to indicate a later binding but for the curious fact that the elaborate gilt stamped design on the spine is quite different from the other pattern we have seen, as is the decoration on the upper cover. Not what one would usually expect from an attempt to sell off unsold sheets in a cheaper binding. A curious example of a 19th century binding mystery.
