Volume two appears is a first edition and appears to be the third issue with the Clowes imprint on p. 320 worn and broken. No publisher's catalogue. The books are bound in half red calf with marbled sides and matching endpapers. The binder was Maclemose, Glasgow. The outer hinge, raised bands and corners are mildly rubbed (an easy touch-up job for the skillful). The text is tight and basically immaculate. There is an occasional very light water stain on just a few leaves at the perifieries - light foxing in same areas of volume 1. Light damp stain in margins only of some plates. The illustrations are by J.E. Millais. Plates facing pp. 205 and p. 311, as in List of Illustrations, are both labled "Farewell". The points cited were gleaned from 1977 Dawson printing of Michael Sadleir's bibliography. We are unfamiliar with the printer impreint D1 or H, as mentioned by a couple of entries on the internet.
