Rare edition presenting the bilingual text in two facing columns (French–Piedmontese).

Contemporary full black shagreen binding, spine with five raised bands ruled in blind, rubbing to the spine, triple blind-ruled panels on the covers, yellow endpapers and pastedowns, inner hinge split, all edges gilt, corners lightly worn.

Copy presented to Wilbraham Taylor by The Foreign Conference and Evangelization Committee in 1851 (printed presentation label mounted on the front endpapers).
