The second title in Warne's famous series, Step's classic survey was the first to appear (in 1904) in the now familiar 'dumpy' W&W format. The second edition, revised by the Jacksons and with outstanding plates by Fitchew, followed in 1940 and swiftly reissued. Uncommon in this condition. See Marren pp.142-4.
