Publisher's bright blue cloth titled in gilt to spine and in blind to front board. 430pp. Originally published in three uniform volumes, lacking dustjacket. Minor wear and handling to extremities, some darkening to the cloth of the spine. A very good copy. Internally clean, scruffy label removal to title page has left paste residue to lower part of page.
