<p>Since leipzig dates are often not correct i dont know the exact date on this one. I however know that the ones with the etchings are the earlier states. So i assume this is from 1846. It also has the date 1843 but the later date is obviously more correct. This also includes the chimes and the cricket on the hearth.<br />The condition is overall very good with some foxing.</p> Leipzig hardcover

<p>The title has been worn off. The binding is tight though. Has a name pressed in on first 3 pages. Not in ink though. The pages are surprisingly fresh although i managed to find a small stain on one of the first pages. As early editions as this one are scarce.</p> Chapman & Hall hardcover
