IT VERY SELDOM HAPPENS THAT A BOOK OF FIRST RATE IMPORTANCE IS FOUND CLOTHED IN A 

 REALLY FINE EXAMPLE OF CONTEMPORARY BINDING AS IN THE PRESENT INSTANCE. The book, 

 too, is extremely rare when on thick paper and so tall as the present copy. We can only trace 

 the sale of two copies answering that description during the past 20 years, one, like the present 

 copy, very tall, at Sotheby's in 1902, which realized ^100, and the Van Antwerp copy, in the 

 same rooms in 1907, in modern calf, and shorter, which brought ^50.
