pp.xv, 493 + 13 plates and diagrams, some folding, printed in blue, at the end. Orig. blue blind-stamped cloth w. ornamental gilt title. Head and tail of spine nicked, o/w v.gd. NSTC lists 15 imprints of this title, stopping at 1860. An enlarged edition with the title The Physical Geography of the Sea, and its Meteorology, based on the 8th edition of its predecessor, came out in 1860, with an 8th edition in 1861 and a further imprint listed in 1864, which does not, however, appear to be this one. Why Nelson issued an edition with the older title page as late as 1864 is not clear. (Book ref. 2007)  £20.00
