Condition report

Overall, this copy is in good to very good condition. The book is half-leather bound with marble-effect page edges. There is intermittent light spotting throughout, including on the title page and the frontispiece. The pages are lightly tanned but generally clean. The binding is firm. There is some wear to the gutter between the last end page and the final paste down, but it is not significant and doesn’t affect the binding.
