[(1), A1-2T8, 2U4, A1-K8, A1-N8, O4, A1-D4, E3]
Contemporary panelled full calf binding, some parts of the leather lifting. Scuffs, rubbed, minor losses. Both boards are securely attached, though with the joints exposed as typical. Ink ownership inscription dated 1843 to ffep recto, and another to the final leaf verso dated 1827. Collates as complete including both titles, though lacks the final blank. The full text is legible without loss of sense, though there is some light dampstaining in places through the start of the text through to circa the first M gathering, together with more dampstaining affecting the last few leaves, from the N gathering onward (circa 2 Peter through to the end of the NT and then the Index & Tables).
