Size: 57 x 112 mm (approx.)


 

Condition: 

[t.p., 397pp, 12pp (index)]


Contemporary (original) full leather binding, heavily rubbed with loss. Both boards remain attached with the binding secure. Completely unrestored, and thus in completely original condition. Boards with a tendency to splay outwards as typical for these sized bindings of this period. Without any pastedowns or blanks/endpapers, probably as bound. Title page near detached with some loss, ragged at edges. The first few leaves are also a bit ragged at their edges, but the majority of the text block's leaves are normal. Text block mildly toned but generally very clean throughout.
