1860-1866 (London: Carl Hentschel Ltd., n.d. [1910]).

This is the scarce 1st limited edition ("No. 95" handwritten on titlepage), not to be mistaken for the "inferior ordinary edition" (Goldman p.357). Binding Very Good (sl. wear to corner-tips of fr. board, moderate surface peeling to covers, & tiedown lacking); contents Very Good (lt. foxing to titlepage, & a few corners sl. creased). Fredeman 55.8, Goldman 368. (Inv. #927) C$300
