1826, is one of the most respected families of glass manufacturers in 
England.

Hardcover. 6”x9”, 131 tables, numbered 2-132. Table 1 appears not have 
existed, the first gather is complete in the binding and no pages have 
been removed; further, table 2 begins where you would expect the first 
page to be, and a comparison of this copy with copies in institutional 
holdings confirms that the tables begin with Table 2. Covers with some 
soil, a little staining and light wear. Pages with some scattered light 
soil. [42986]  $125
