This is, as someone has already said, the 1931 edition. Its also, 
judging by the second photo, a photocopy, since the original is A5 
portrait or thereabouts, and the photo displays 2 pages of the 
original.

If someone can decipher the signature in the bottom R. H. corner of 
the first photo, it might be possible to date it.

Anyone wishing for a scanned copy of this edition can have one, at 
rather less than half the current high bid + carriage at cost.

If enough people want one we'll do a facsimile of it, but the 
information is already available in print in the facsimile of the 
original edition, available from NPS booksales (yes, OK, me!) as part 
of the 4 volume set of the C19 transactions of the NSPS, for which 
the total price is also less than the high bid on ebay.

Caveat emptor should be the watchword on ebay......
