Description: Light waterstains on front and rear boards. Separation in gutter between frontispiece and title page. Some very minor foxing to preliminary pages. One page has a dog-eared corner. Some pages are un-opened. No prior ownership markings or bookplates. Overall VG with scarce original plain paper dust wrapper with printed publisher label affixed to spine. Jacket is VG with some age markings, light soiling, minor tiny paper loss at extremeties and some short edgetears. A most uncommon title to find in dust jacket. Undoubtedly most buyers rapidly discarded the unattractive jacket in favor of the rather luxurious blue cloth and gilt decorations of the binding itself. This was one volume (XV or 15) of a set. Top edge gilt, blue cloh with gilt name and rule on front board.
