Sampson Low, Marston & Company, London / T Maskew Miller, Cape Town etc, 1904. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 439 pages (complete). From the library of Julius Jeppe, the South African mining and property magnate: the front pastedown has an ex-libris plate with Jeppe's post-knighthood coat of arms. A placid copy. The boards have shelving wear to the corners and edges and seams. They have very light scuffing. The spine has a small label, wear to the head and foot. The spine is otherwise elegant. The contents have some amiable aging. The early and later pages have flushes, pools of foxing. The papertrims are tanned. The pages in general have some casual evidence of contented use throughout. Nonetheless, the pages are clean, clear, dutiful, orderly, sound. fk
