2 vols - vol. 1: (xviii) + 316 p.p.Mounted photo frontis. portrait by H.S. Mendelssohn + 9 b/w plates & 5 text illustrations. Vol. 2: (x) + 318 p.p.B/w frontis. + 11 b/w plates & 5 text ills. The map mentioned in Vol.1 is not present.

Bindings are falling apart in both Volumes. Ex. Garret Theological Seminary Library, Everston, Illinois, with usual paste-downs and markings. Text is remarkably clean and very good throughout. This scarce 2 Vol. set is an ideal candidate for a rebind.
