BOOK CONDITION
In generally worn condition, commensurate with age. Boards are scuffed with fraying at edges and corners. Hinges are split but binding feels reasonable secure otherwise. Printed pages and images are quite browned, although this lessens towards the end of the volume. Printed pages and images have few other marks. Looks like frontispiece / flyleaf are missing.
DUST JACKET
No.
EDITION
No edition remarks, believed soon after 1836.
