Binding is rubbed, has bumping at corners, a few stray ink marks on rear board. Fore-edge of text block has what appears to be ink marks. Spine has an ink mark along the middle part of the cloth.

The only copyright date on this book is 1838, but this is clearly a late 19th century publication and was likely produced in the 1880s.
