Unpaginated; bound in 9s, which has caused great excitement in this shop as, to Stephen's knowledge he has never encountered it before, nor is this mentioned in the ABC of Book Collecting. Tree calf binding is coming a little loose at the hinges and is a bit chipped at the corners - the very top of the spine is missing, and pages HIE to HOL (3 pages) are a little loose, so poking out of line. Some browning to edges of endpapers, probably resulting from glue used to hold the leather to the boards. 37a
