Exterior is in poor shape with both boards detached in leather to spine is missing. Internal binding of the text pages is good and pages are tight. Foldout map at page 778 is still present and attached. Marbled end pages and pastedowns and front and rear are also present though the front marbled end page has some darkening and chipping along the edges. Front pastedown contains the 19th century bookplate of Annie C. Nutting, second front end page has a signature in pencil of J. S. Nutting. No other handwriting found. Pages are toned due to age and there is some foxing present though this is mainly limited to the first few pages and front and rear. Also found between the pages is a 19th century business card showing the name Geo. S. Ford. This has been placed in a glassing envelope and will stay with the book. Despite the rough exterior (which is the reason for the poor condition grade) the interior of the book grades as VG or better. This is an excellent candidate for rebinding or for reference purposes.
