See photos for condition details. Hardcover, brown cloth boards decorated on front and spine. Exterior shows scuffing and wear, spine is darkened and there is a drink ring and staying on the back board. Edges and corners also show bumps/wear. The interior hinges at the boards show only minor surface color cracks but there are numerous areas of the text pages that have pulling. The second frontispiece is starting to detach at the bottom. Pages are quite toned due to age and there is foxing and spotting present. The only handwriting found in the book is a signature written in pencil on the title page. There is also dampstain along the bottom edge which can also be seen on the frontispiece pages, which is the extent of interior damp marks. Good copy for reading or reference purposes. No publication date listed him in the latest date on the preface is 1854, though the book may possibly be from the 1870s - based on exterior design.
