About this Item

A SCARCE UNCUT COPY, 287 x 226mm., half-title, xvi + (4) + 224 pages, 5 plates (3 folding), apparently original plain paper covered spine with marbled paper covered sides, paper label with the title in manuscipt on the spine, covers very worn with small pieces of the original paper worn / torn away from the boards, UNCUT (i.e. untrimmed), 3 leaves creased across the corners where they were previously folded over, signs of a couple of the gatherings having been re-attached along the inner margins at some time, but nonetheless internally loose in places, separating in the gutter between the final leaf of the text and the rear free endpaper, a few spots (faint minor splashes) in the lower margins of a few pages, slight marginal tears to a couple of the leaves, slight off-setting of the plates as usual, occasional ticks in pencil in the margins, contemporary pencil annotations in the margin of plate III, short contemporary notes in pencil on four of the people mentioned in the text on the front free endpaper, two loose pieces of paper laid in with contemporary notes from the book, internally very bright and clean. NOTE: Apart from the above-mentioned faults, this is AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY. The binding appears to be its original first binding. Due to being uncut, the margins are exceptionally wide. It is unusual to find uncut copies of the first edition. Seller Inventory # 2693
