Sobre este artículo
London: Bell and Daldy, 1865. 7th ed. rep.of 6th, 1860 ed. . Blind-stamped Red Cloth. G-VG (VG - for age though). 12.5 Cm x 18.5 Cm. Issued in the Bohn's Scientific Library series, with series binding. Originally published as the 4th Bridgewater Treatise in 1832, then revised by author up to 4th ed., Shaw then seems to have added more material to the 5th and then his prefatory 'Account' to 1860 6th ed. xxxv+260, unnumbered engraved text figs, head & tail-pieces intermittently throughout, brown endpapers/pastedowns; small heraldic label of M.R. Westropp to front pastedown ('Post Funera Virtus'), surface has some brown pigment off-set from facing brown endpaper, later owner's small gilt label top same (mine in fact), end-gutter papers cracked but secure (rear one only partially so), otehrwise internally clean, tight & unmarked, textblock edges dust-free, covers sound but a few marks and extensive light surface rubbing, spine slightly darkened with slight rubbing to gilt lettering, all extremities slightly rubbed/bumped. Despite faults a quite acceptable copy. Even this later edition seems remarkably scarce in anything like decent condition. Note: quoted shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
