Octavo, [ii], 732pp, [733]-736pp. Rebound in three quarter green morocco, marbled boards, title stamped in gilt on spine with decorative raised bands. This copy includes the original paper covers, the title printed in blue, which began with the fourth printing in January 1924. Short closed tear through p. [1], and archival repair to edge of p. 508.

An attractive presentation.
The text correction noted on the original errata were largely corrected by this fourth printing, but “additional corrections” were discovered and incorporated into the four page errata on page [733]-736.
