Rendered into German from the French by Franz Hessel; printed in Roman typeface. --- An undated, compact copy, measuring 3.5 in. wide x 6 in. tall. In full blue cloth-covered boards with titling and decorations in gilt to spine and on red spine block; sewn-in red satin ribbon bookmark. Printed on very thin leaves, with faint pale yellow staining to textblock edges. Volume in tan jacket with engraved image of a young gentleman to cover. --- An excellent copy: clean, tightly-bound and bright.
