Soft cover. Condition: Fair. ] 12mo (4 7/8 x 7 3/16 inches), paper wrappers/self-cover (??), 56 total pages, Fair to Good condition. Fragile item, seems complete in sewn binding, though front cover almost fully detached w/ a small bit held by the center stitch. Back cover stitching (seen easily in one of the photos) holding very well. Condition beyond the first leaf overall rather decent. The second leaf has page number (3} printed in the top margin. Last leaf (back cover?) has the page number (56) printed in the top margin as well as F I N I S printed beneath the last line of type. No pages missing and since 56 pages this would be the 1720 printing (??) and with 2 parts combined (??) - however I am rather only speculating on the basis of a little research. This 56-page item is housed in a (circa 1920s, 1930s or 1940s ??) hardback tri-fold in brick red cloth, and in a slim matching brick red hardback slipcase (12mo, 5 3/8 x 7 3/4 inches) that features gilt titling in a maroon leather panel on the end opposite the open end (that end being quite tanned though the gilt titling and maroon leather remain quite nice). Initials at the heel of spine beneath the titling that I would read as ITE.
