This work was originally published in three parts in wrappers with an incomplete fourth part, between 1868 and 1870. They were issued in a bound volume in 1870. Dr. Callaway presented unsold copies to The Folk-Lore Society and they issued them as Vol. XV of their publications in 1884. The copy on offer is one of the Folk-Lore Society issues and is effectively still a bound edition of the original printings. In the original terracotta binding with gilt and black decoration and lettering. An immaculate just about fine, crisp, unmarked copy of his scarce title.
