Undated, dated from Jisc from a copy held at the University of Oxford Libraries.

Condition

In a half morocco binding with marbled paper to the boards. Externally, generally smart, with rubbing to the extremities, resulting in some loss of leather and paper.

Light rubbing to the boards. Hinges are starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean with just the odd light spot and odd light handling mark.
