The articles are mostly in German but for a few contributions in English, French or Italian. Illustrated. 493,[3] pp. Quarto, publisher's brown cloth. Cloth shows light wear and has a small stain on lower board; but the book is clean and solid overall. An interesting copy with an excellent association and enclosures.
