William Smith.
A Classical Dictionary, Biographical, Mythological, and Geographical; revised edition.
Published London: John Murray, 1858 (could be a later reprint).
[No ISBN].
Binding: hardback, stitch bound; speckled edges.
Printer: Spottiswoode & Co., London.
Size: 150x224x54mm.
Page count: text [viii],832pp; plates 97pp.
Main language: English.
Overall condition fair: no dustjacket; has been re-bound at some point, the spine now bearing only the words "Classical Dictionary", possibly ex‑lib., though no ownership stamps apparent; half-title and title pages have been removed, apparently during rebinding, so bibliographical details above are taken from elsewhere in the book; boards and spine a bit scuffed and grubby, some wear on the edges and corners, a noticeable scar on the back board; binding starting to split internally here and there, though no pages are detached; pages at either end of the book rather foxed and a bit grubby, some spots of foxing here and there internally; text appears to be free of marking.
