[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 61668, member: 1375"] Can't guarantee it but would say that's an original 1st edition IF, note the big IF the photo you provided does NOT have any of the pages I mention below.. Alas mine is just a second printing of the 1979 facsimile edition but has the same info. The facsimile editions will/should show the printing date, mine clearly shows 1980. The 'copies' should also make mention of the original edition as a preface which is in the pages BEFORE the actual 'guts' of the reprint., 1869 will be shown in the title page at the start of what was the original book with no pages preceding it. If it's an original ... go and buy a copy and keep the original safe (usually around $750 +). Cheers Tom [/QUOTE]
