New York: R. Worthington, 1878. Third Edition. Octavo (21cm). Gilt-pictorial blue cloth; xii,268,[2]pp; illus. Mildly rubbed at extremities, with some fading and flaking to cloth at crown of spine; 20th-c. private ownership stamp to endpapers and a few page margins; overall a tight, Good or better copy.

Given Worthington's history of piracy, this is likely an unauthorized American printing from the third British edition. Of a higher quality than many of Worthington's titles, however, and a not unattractive copy.
