First edition, one of 650 numbered copies on vellum. Bradel binding in half boards with vellum-style corners, smooth spine decorated with a gilt floral motif, double gilt fillets at head and foot, marbled paper boards, marbled endpapers and pastedowns, covers and spine preserved, contemporary binding. Work illustrated with a photographic portrait of the author as frontispiece. Pleasant full-margined copy properly containing the facsimile of a fragment of the work's manuscript. Some minor foxing without gravity.
