London: John Murray, 1875. TWO VOLUMES - THE FIRST EDITION published in 1875. Volume 1 has xii + (2) + 387pp with frontis portrait and 10 other plates and illustrations in text. Volume 2 has vi + (2) + 375pp + 32 (ads). Bound in the original green cloth as issued with gilt titles to spine. Some light rubbing of the cloth otherwise it is nice condition. Both volumes have a slight lean and occasional light spotting to the prelims. Both volumes have an engraved bookplate of a previous owner pasted onto the fixed front endpapers. A scare book and as nice a copy as I have ever seen of what remains the seminal work on Murchison. Two quite heavy volumes. . First Edition. Original Cloth. Very Good ++. 8vo.
