First edition for the last four years, fourth edition for the first fascicule and second edition for the three subsequent ones. With the eight frontispieces, a little shaved by the binder.Near-contemporary half green calf over marbled paper boards, spines with blindstamped fleurons and gilt fillets and roulettes, gilt dentelles to foot, marbled endpapers and pastedowns. A very good copy despite rubbing to head- and tailpieces and some joints.
One tear to two first pages (endpaper and half-title) of volume three without loss to text.
