Median octavo (171 x 112mm). 513 leaves [of 514, lacking preface leaf a1]. Woodcut of Saint Peter on first leaf (some dustsoiling, dampstains, and other marks, a few small repairs to blank areas). 19th-century blind-ruled calf, edges speckled red (top of spine renewed, top joint split through). Provenance: occasional marginal notes - Madame Sherman (gift inscription dated 31 December [18]55).
