Descripción:

Well illustrated with 108 plates at rear. 348 pages of text. Thick 4to, original 1/2 brown calf over brown cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine. London: Thomas Kelly, 1823. First edition. The binding is solid but a well-rubbed and scuffed with some scattered foxing on the text pages; the plates are somewhat more foxed along with some offsetting and staining. Overall, a very good solid copy, but this appears to be the first volume ONLY of a two volume set (the complete work should have 596 pages and 184 plates). COPAC suggests that the full work was actually published in 1825, so it is possible that this copy consists of the parts of the work that were available in 1823. N° de ref. del artículo 325386
