Add to basketFirst Edition (NAP) "Revised by the Committee of Publication". 49 pages. 6 by 4 inches. Previous owner penciled name with some numbers on FFEP. A rare book. There is only one other for sale on the internet (that one has a cracked hinge, and is selling for $100). For a book published in 1840, it has done pretty well. It has only very minor foxing, has no writing in the text and less soiling than would be expected. While there are no loose pages the book was bound together with four pieces of twine and only the two middle ones are present and intact. All the pages are present, there are 3 blank end papers at both the front and back of the book. Only one page (two sides) is affected by a tear, but that tear cut the page in half. The 'repair' was interesting. What they did was clumsily ( letters overlap) sew it back together. I guess the sales pitch would be that it adds to the charm. The book has marbled paper-covered boards with a leather spine. They've held up amazingly well. Still all of the marble design on the paper-covered edges is worn away, there's a stain on the lower front cover and much scuffing.
