Including numerous additional substantial annotations and appendixes at the end of each chapter, not originally included in Mr. Bourne's earlier work.

ESTC Citation No. T144127
Signature: [20] B1-2E8, [2]
Condition
Rebacked in full calf, with the original calf laid down to the boards. Externally, very smart, with some shelf wear to the boards, and light rubbing to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound with refreshed endpapers. The odd spot to the pages, which are otherwise bright and clean, especially considering the age of the work.
Very Good Indeed
