About This Item
No dust jacket. Cover is brown cloth with embossed decoration, front and back, with deteriorating tooled black leather over the spine with the remains of gilt print. Fabric is worn through at all four corners. Free endpapers are missing front and back, plus any other pages that might have preceeded the title page. Remaining pages are present, moderatey tight, unmarked, with a few stains scattered throughout. Contents include a section on the "Principles of Elocution", followed by 186 alternating Lessons in Prose and Lessons in Poetry. This is a very rare book, priced to reflect the condition.

About Turtleman Used Books
Opened August 1st of 2022, Turtleman Used Books in Olympia, WA. Address is 108 22nd Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98501. Suite #4. This is a small shop, so some books may only be displayed online, others only displayed in the store. Come on by if you are in town. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily. Check back frequently to see what's new. -----
