Condition

In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Fading to the spines with the odd small split to the cloth at the head and tail. Front hinge just starting but firm to the odd volume. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot and minor age toning to the extremities. Contemporary ink inscription to the front endpapers.
