8&5/16" x 5&1/2" hardcover with gilted leather spine and corners, four hundred seventy three pages, printed in 1851, with personal/private book collection markings (see pics), this book is stated to be a third volume (of what was a seven volume set). Edge, corner, and surface wear to cover, but the endpaper seams have held up suprisingly well and no loose or ripped pages, binding good.
