Condition

In a half calf binding with marbled paper boards. Externally, smart. Light rubbing to the spine and to the paper to the boards. The rear hinge and joint arse slightly strained but remain firm, and the front hinge is also slightly strained, which has resulted in the front joint starting, but remaining firm. Bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities and caused a little loss of leather. Prior owners ink inscription to the recto of the front endpaper, noting the contents of the volume. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean throughout, with the odd spot and handling mark throughout.
