About This Item
London: Faber and Faber Ltd, 1950. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Large octavo. Gilt cloth. Second impression, printed photo-offset from the 1940 edition because the type had to be melted during the second world war, which prevented them from making corrections or adding footnotes - as noted in a long "Note to the Second Edition" by the authors. Endsheets a trifle foxed but a very good copy, nonetheless, in a lightly worn dust jacket.
