The front pastedown contains the personal bookplate of Colonel Richard Lathers of Winyah Park which also contains a personal gift inscription which reads: "Miss Williams with love from her friend Agnes Lathers, Jan 26th, 1906". Agnes Lathers (Jun 10,1853 ? Dec 25,1918) was the daughter of the late Colonel Richard and Abby P. Lathers. Exterior shows edge and corner bumps/wear along with minor soiling, spine has some spotting and is mildly sunned. The internal binding is good, no hinge issues at boards but hinge is cracked just after the half title page where there is a tipped in sheet of the index. This is a clean crack should be able to be easily repaired if desired. Pages are toned due to age and there is some very light scattered foxing and spotting present. A unique copy which has the Colonel's personal bookplate along with the gift inscription from the daughter.
