The original dark blue cloth binding remains structurally sound and secure, exhibiting only minor shelf-wear and light rubbing to the corners, alongside gentle bumping to the spine extremities, typical of careful handling. The gilt lettering on the spine remains reasonably bright and legible. Internally, the fore and bottom edges are untrimmed, as called for in this variant. The pages show scattered light foxing, most notably to the title page and preliminaries, but the text block remains largely clean, supple, and readable throughout. It is a handsome, intact copy that has avoided the heavy wear often seen in volumes of this vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a First Edition, First Issue (Roberts Variant No. 1) of D.
