Cloth. Condición: Fair. [Not dated - 1871?]. Illustrated with woodcuts throughout, every page printed within a red lined margin, pp xl, 312, slight age-toning generally but heavier on a few pages, the prortraqit stained and the following pages slightly so, the hinge at the half-title cracked but not weak, possibly missing a front blank, original brown cloth, dull, rubbed, worn at the corners, the rear cover a bit marked, the spine faded, frayed at head and tail, both joints worn and cracked. I suspect this binding may have been glued at one time, so it might possibly crack with use ? However a large paper copy with very wide margins. [A heavy book - extra postage may be needed.].
