Cheltenham: H. Davies, Montpellier Library; G.A. Williams, J. Lee, Ebers and Col. and J. Lovesy, High Street; London: Messrs. Baldwin & Cradock, n.d. [1832?]. 12mo. (measures 7.9 x 6 inches, approx.). viii, 171,[1]pp. Extra engraved title-page, folding map, and 8 engraved plates.§Preface signed H[enry] D[avies]. The work reached a "new and much improved" third edition, [1842]; the copy offered seems to be the undated first edition. An unsophisticated copy in original pictorial paper boards, the upper board and extra engraved title bearing the same design. Covers browned with slight wear to spine; upper hinge partly cracked but sound. Some browning to gutter; occasional light foxing. Neat label of the Cheltenham bookseller Alan Hancox to foot of front pastedown. A good copy overall, surviving well for this fragile binding style.
