London and New York: Oxford University Press, 1929. First Edition. In original dust jacket. Signed dedication to front from author to William C. Carroll. Hardback in blue cloth with gilt decoration and titles to spine. Limited to 500 copies. Dust jacket has loss to the top and bottom of the spine, and moderate darkening. In archival protection. Book itself has a little rubbing to top and base of spine. Internally, generally very clean, but has some smoke damage to the top edge of the initial pages, and to the bottom closed page edge. Overall a very useable copy, enhanced by the author's signature. Profuse facsimiles and illustrations throughout. Perhaps most important of the three volumes as it includes the text of many letters not previously reproduced. 280 x 210 mm (11 x 8¼ inches).

. Première édition. En jaquette d'origine. Dédicace signée au recto par l'auteur à William C. Carroll. Livre relié en toile bleue avec décoration et titres dorés au dos. Limité à 500 exemplaires. La jaquette présente une perte en haut et en bas du dos, ainsi qu'un assombrissement modéré. Elle est protégée par un film d'archivage. Le livre lui-même présente quelques frottements en haut et à la base du dos. L'intérieur est généralement très propre, mais le bord supérieur des premières pages et le bord inférieur de la page fermée sont endommagés par la fumée. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'un exemplaire très utilisable, rehaussé par la signature de l'auteur. Nombreux fac-similés et illustrations tout au long de l'ouvrage. Peut-être le plus important des trois volumes, car il contient le texte de nombreuses lettres qui n'avaient pas été reproduites auparavant. 280 x 210 mm
