TWO volumes in one. Folio reversed calf on 5 raised bands with a red gilt spine label (spine with nap rubbed off/leather repair to head of spine/corners worn/some holes in the leather covers). All Fore-edges red sprinkled. Titlepage printed in red and black + 8pp of dedication & other preliminaries + 520pp + titlepage to volume two + contents + 859 [recte 843] followed by 39pp of indices. There are several jumps in the pagination of Vol.2 as well as repeated page numbers but the collation with its signatures shows that there is nothing missing and the catchwords also show that nothing is missing. The pages are in good clean condition except for a large brown ink stain on pages 143-146 but these pages are still quite readable. The first leaves of the book have a fore-edge damp stain of 2 inches by 1 inch in the margin never touching the text nor affecting the strength of the paper.There are some marginal worm tracks and are two corners are torn off and some other corners creased but again not affecting any text and the paper throughout is strong and well bound in to the covers. The text is in double columns with side notes and some large decorative head- and tail-pieces as well as some foliated initial lettering. [NB extra shipping cost for large heavy book].
