Description:
545 pp. (8vo) 19.2x12 cm (7½x¾"), publisher's original light blue cloth decorated in black and white, spine lettered in black. Second English Edition.
The rare second English edition, in the original cloth binding. The first edition was published in 1851, the English 3-volume edition preceding the American edition by about a month. Forty years would pass before the second edition in each nation was published - both in the same format and pagination. The London edition is much scarcer than the American edition, with only five copies listed in OCLC. Leather bookplate.
Condition
A little rubbing to extremities, joints and lower edges of covers, spine a bit darkened, a touch of soiling; offset to free endpapers; very good to near fine.
