About this Item

First edition thus. 8vo. pp. clxiv, [3, ads.]; very good in the original printed boards, bumped to head and tail of spine. The 1863 edition of Ball s A Guide to the Western Alps, the first of the Alpine Guides that appeared under his name, contained a long introduction which offered general hints and notes for climbers. In 1864 it was published separately as Introduction to the Alpine Guide. In the 1890s, W. A. B. Coolidge undertook a revision of the Ball guides for the Alpine Club, and heavily revised the Introduction, which was published in the present form, now uncommon.
