8° (mm 185x127). Legatura editoriale originale in tela rossa con impressioni in oro ai piatti. Esemplare perfetto.

First Edition in Italian, first issue, second(?) binding [cf. Williams 1979, 85].

La traduzione si deve a Teodorico Pietrocola Rossetti (Vasto, 1825 – Firenze, 3 giugno 1883), predicatore e patriota italiano del Risorgimento, nipote del poeta e pittore pre-raffaellita italo-inglese Dante Gabriel Rossetti e amico di Lewis Carroll. Rivoluzionario mazziniano, era stato condannato a morte nel Regno di Napoli per aver partecipato ai moti rivoluzionari del 1848 e fuggì in Inghilterra per salvarsi la vita, accolto da Gabriele Rossetti, suo cugino materno.
