A little gift from the universe, with its rare and delicate original covers and advertising intact since January 1863. Thanks to an ebay alert I must have set up five years ago, too - it feels somehow fitting it would arrive as I am tidying up the seams of my complete dissertation project to send to my chair next week. ✨
