About This Item
The padded leather cover is encased in a homemade plastic bookcover, probably to preserve the leather, which is deteriorating, especially over the spine and at some corners. Gilt print on the front and spine. Gift inscription inside the front cover (1884, to Ida from Arthur). Pages are gilt-edged all around. They are also clean, tight and unmarked. Chock full of quotations from the mid-19th century and before.
"Nothing so much prevents our being natural as the desire of being so." La Rochefoucauld.
"Our wishes lengthen as our sun declines." Longfellow.
Seems quite rare.
