A fine copy. This was the fifth edition to be published in London in 1824; there were also Paris and New York editions.

From the library of Ernest Augustus (1771-1851), who succeeded his brother, William IV, as King of Hanover in 1837. It has his ink stamp in black on the recto of the title, and another in red on the verso, and the volume was bound for him, in Hanover, in his favoured style.
