Footnotes
- A VERY HANDSOME SET of this rare issue with each volume bound in the wood from a different species from Petworth (printed labels on pastedowns giving names), and the half-binding of deerskin from the same source. Velvet dividers have ensured that the boards have not been rubbed, as seems to have be the case with another set offered some years ago.
