Complete Glossary to the Poetry and Prose of Robert Burns. With Upwards of Three Thousand Illustrations from English Authors. By John Cuthbertson.

Text is clean and bright throughout, with all page gatherings still remaining uncut at the top edge, so clearly has never been read. Binding is a bit weak and there are gaps to the gutter between gatherings. Cracked endpapers at rear. Imperfect, but a fairly scarce first edition.
