Mine is an original 1883 edition, rebound by Haileybury Library,
Hertford, which "discarded" this treasure in 1991. I'd be happy to
see the page or so of Corrigenda. I found my copy from
http://abebooks.com/, where antiquarian bookstores worldwide offer
their wares. My copy cost GBP 25 plus GBP 10 postage (heavy books!).

I'd love a copy if that if you've an offprint.
