Condition:
Rebound with modern hardcovers. Lacks frontispiece. Both covers have a rectangular tanned area over most of the cloth. Cloth tear at the bottom edge of the spine. Tight binding with no loose pages. There is a minor crack at the front hinge between the end paper and half title page resulting in the front cover being just a bit shaky. The back cover is firmly attached. The pages are lightly age-toned, though not brittle. The upper-outer corner of page 219 has torn away; a dime-sized piece has torn away at the outer edge of page 169...in both instances, the text is unaffected. Within pages 87-97, occasional lines of text have been underlined very lightly in pencil (the underlines could easily be erased if desired). Name/date (1913) written in pencil on the half title page. "1801" is written in pencil below the author's name on the title page. Overall the book is in Good condition.
