About this Item

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, scarce original 1893 publication bound in original gray cloth. The exterior is soiled and worn, with the heaviest soiling along the edges and spine. The internal binding is good and the text pages are tight. The book does have some 19th-century library markings from the "Roberts Circulation Library of Roxbury". There is a oval stamp showing this on both the half title and title pages, as well as opposite the copyright page. The front end page shows a list, mostly in pencil, which presumably is how may times it was checked out. Pages are quite toned due to age and there is spotting and some soiling present. Some of the pages have corner creases and both end pages and pastedowns show quite a bit of foxing and spotting. Despite being ex-library and condition issues, this is still a very scarce title.
