Hardback, original half calf and marbled paper covered boards. 31 x 24cm. viii, 263pp. 30 plates and tables as called for.

Text and plates complete but pages 217-224 bound out of place. Foxing to some plates and off-setting to facing leaves. Just a touch of mustiness. Firmly bound. A pleasing original copy. .
