About This Item
London : Cassell, Petter, and Galpin. Hardcover. Good+ for age. Half textured cloth covers and shiny cloth sp. & corners, with dec. gilt dividing lines and paneled gilt decorated and lettered sp, two tiny nicks to sp. ends and touch of rubbing to outer corner tips, light rippling to shiny sp. region cloth strips but otherwise clean, bright and unworn. f/piece cartoon of Man in the Club Window + 378 + (6. James Hogg and Sons pub. list), all edges gilt, 2 gatherings a little proud at top edge but this seems to be binding error. Main problem is tanning spots and patches, quite heavy to front end-papers, f/piece and t.p., reducing to p.15, marginal spots resuming c. p.305 but becoming increasingly heavy after p. 365 to end, end-gutters thinly split but quite secured. UUndated but pre. owner has penciled (1859)to lower t.p. which seems about right. 12 cm x 17 cm
