Add to basketI could not find another copy of this title for sale anywhere on the Internet. I think the odds are quite high that it is a First Edition(NAP, 1865 on copyright page). It is 139 pages long and in very good condition, considerably better than one would expect for a 151-year-old book. As you can see from the photographs, the covers have held up quite well. They aren't much soiled, just some dark spots on the spine. Nor are they particularly worn, a small spot of rub through at only one corner, the fraying (with a bit of loss) that you can see at the bottom of the spine. The gilt lettering and design on the spine are faded but visible up close. Somewhat amazingly, the book is Very solidly bound. There are no cracks, no webbing showing. The only writing in the book is an inscription on the front free end paper dated January 1, 1867 (' To Louis Barnes our kind little clothes carrier'. There is a spot of scuffing on the inside cover. There are three full-page black-and-white illustrations, including the frontispiece which still has a tissue guard (darkened) protecting it. The book has only light to moderate soiling. I saw only one tear, on the second rear end paper there is a partially removed small price sticker, at the middle of which is a tear that goes through and can be seen on both sides. All the pages in the text of the book appear to be very good shape. I've priced this book quite modestly despite it being 'singularly rare'. Take it away from me and who knows you may be the only person on the planet who owns it. This book is 6.25 x 4.25".
