This handsome edition is bound in three-quarter burgundy leather over light reddish-brown linen cloth. Gilt floral decorations on spine. Decorative marbled endpapers. Front and rear hinges heavily worn, both appear to have been repaired at some point as both free endpapers very tight to binding. Some general wear to edges, chipping to spine.
