With the ownership inscription of George Ricketts dated 1880 to the front blank.

Condition
In a half crushed morocco binding. Externally generally smart; spine is a little faded as to be expected. Rubbed to the joints and the tail of the spine, and a little bumped to the extremities. Internally, binding is generally firm; a slight strain to the front hinge. Pages are a touch age-toned to the edges, with occasional spotting and offsetting opposing plates.
