About This Item
London: T Nelson & Sons Ltd, 1883. First Edition. Half Leather. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. xiipp; 360pp. 4pp of adverts. Half leather blue binding with light blue cloth boards. Gilt embossed design to the spine. Contains 35 engavings including a frontispiece. The edges of the spine are lightly rubbed as are the 5 bands on the spine. Toning to the periphery of the end papers. There is splitting to the inner hinge of the book between page vi and the contents page but the board remains firmly atttached and the textblock firm and tight. Odd slight soil mark to a few pages - however, overall the book is clean and tight. A very good copy of this antiquarian book.
