    Condition

    Rebacked, in a full calf binding, retaining the original calf boards. Endpapers renewed. Light rubbing to board perimeters, otherwise externally excellent. Foxing to text block fore edge. Front hinge a touch strained, but firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. Minor worming to margin head of title page to page 26, not affecting text. Pages age toned due to paper type, with significant spotting to first and final leaves, and the odd further spot throughout, most concentrated to page perimeters. Closed tear to leaf E1, affecting text.

    Very Good
