The boards' edges are chipped and the back one shelf soiled. There is foxing throughout the book. The plate that should be facing page 184 has been tipped in at page 190. This has been done badly causing the page to jut out of the boards and damaging its edges. The plate opposite page 284 is lose and attached only to the head. Overall though a very good copy with no inner markings and solidly bound. No publishing date, c.1880s.
