This rare volume features the distinctive blind stamp for “Derreen, Kenmare, Co. Kerry,” marking it as an incredible provenance piece from the library of the Marquess of Lansdowne at Derreen House, Ireland. It is a direct survivor of the historic estate, which was plundered and burned in 1922 during the Irish Civil War. Bound in handsome half leather with marbled boards, it shows minor rubbing, remaining clean internally with only light edge foxing.
