Belgian printing that followed the 1836 edition described in Vicaire IV, 259-60.
The preliminary note reproduces the introductory text from December 1832 announcing the inclusion of the three chapters missing from the original 1831 edition.
The half-title pages of the three volumes were not preserved by the binder.
A few occasional spots, otherwise a pleasant copy, attractively bound in contemporary Romantic style.
Contemporary Romantic bindings in burgundy long-grain half morocco over marbled boards, smooth spines decorated with gilt Romantic arabesques, spines very slightly faded with minor, unobtrusive rubbing, double gilt fillet frames on the marbled paper boards, orange endpapers and pastedowns, sprinkled edges, three corners slightly bumped.
Provenance: copy of Humphrey Saint John-Mildmay (1794–1853), son-in-law and associate of Alexander Baring, later a director of the Bank of England, with his engraved bookplates mounted on the pastedowns.
