Condition Report
| Cover | Very Good Condition - The book is covered in fine dark green cloth with a puzzling embossed emblem on the front board and slightly faded gilt title and decoration on the still very firm spine, with bumped and slightly frayed corners and spine ends plus two trivial soft scars on the rear board but no lean at all. No wrapper as issued.- No Dust Wrapper as issued |
| Overall | Excellent Condition - Toning of all edges with tanning of both front and rear endpapers are really the only internal faults in this small book that is now in its second century since publication. Curiously free of foxing too |
