'With various Illustrations'. Ferguson calls for six plates; only five are present here, and this is the full complement for this edition - we have a letter from the National Library of Australia confirming this, a copy of which will be included with the book. Ferguson's error stems from the fact that there were six plates in an American edition. Edges and endpapers marbled. A Prize copy, with college or school emblem in gilt on front with motto 'Palmam Qui Meruit Ferat' with very old initialled prize inscription on front fly leaf (it was given to A. Westhead, 'For Mathematics', apparently in Midsummer term, 1858, but the inscription is hard to read).
