Publication: Dublin, Ireland: William Robertson, 1854

Description: Hardcover. 12mo, 7 in. x 4.5 in., pp. xi, [1], 263, [1], 1-32 (advertising). Contemporary ivy green cloth boards with elaborate frame stamped in blind to front and back. Gilt title to spine. Light rubbing to edges with touch of sunning to spine. Faint coin-sized stain to top of spine. Top corners nudged. Pink endpapers. Unmarked, supple interior. Good Plus.

While the title page lists William Robertson as the publisher, the bottom of the book's spine indicates that John Murray of London was the publisher (John Murray published the first edition of the book in 1851). Presumably the Dublin publisher used the boards from the earlier London publication.
