About this Item

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, original full leather untreated binding, of which the exterior is in rough condition. The leather is scuffed and soiled, and also blackened along the spine and edges. Heavy wear is present in the spine covering shows chipping and cracking throughout. Despite this, the book is still in one piece although should be handled with care as movement of the boards may cause them to detach (which is why the condition was marked down to poor). The marbled end pages in front and rear are free of any handwriting or bookplates. The text pages show foxing/spotting throughout and the pages between the frontispiece and page 6 are breaking loose at the top and also show cribbing increasing. In addition, some staining is present and the top of the title page was cut off - presumably to remove the original owner's address. PLEASE NOTE: this is volume 1 ONLY of the two-volume set.
