The large folding frontispiece is heavily foxed and slightly wormed along the bottom edge (not affecting image). Frontispiece detached. Book disbound, looks as though it was bound with other pamphlets. Top edge trimmed, other edges uncut. Some worming to page edges of first 14pp, (not affecting text block and could easily be trimmed out, as page margins very wide). Some worming to bottom page margins as well. Some light foxing and marking throughout. Would be a very good copy if rebound. Rare.
