About this Item

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, paper covered boards with half leather to spine. Exterior is heavily worn and spotted, spine is brittle and chipping in several spots. Internal binding is secure though hinges show holes and thread at boards. The binding of the text pages is tight. Pages are toned due to age and moderate to heavy foxing is present throughout. Advertisement page states this is the 10th edition. First end page has the lower right corner worn out. The interesting part of this book is on the same end page, which bears several signatures which is basically a short genealogy of the Nutt family, and it appears it may be the children of Haller Nutt - well known southern plantation owner of the early 19th century. The page contains four names: the oldest being Sarah Nutt, with a November 13 date. The other names are Cary (Caroline) Routh Nutt, Mary Ella Nutt, and a daughter Mary Francis Nutt. The Caroline and Mary Ella match up to Haller Nutt but we could not find references to a Sarah Nutt. There is also a bit of pencil writing, some on the front pastedown and a few small doodles on the end pages. These may be erased if desired.
