    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding with gilt title to spine. Externally excellent, with slight bumping to extremities and the odd small faint mark to boards. Bumping to head and tail of spine resulting in small splits to cloth. Author's ink inscription to front free-endpaper, dated '1902'. Internally firmly bound. Pages slightly age toned to extremities but very bright and clean, with only the odd light spot and handling mark to the occasional page.
