Smooth calf binding with gilt decorations on the spine. Clean text; 335 pages. Nice frontis engraving. There is an armorial bookplate on the front paste-down. Bumped; and rather heavily rubbed on the spine where most of the titling gilt has disappeared (although the gilt decorations can be made out). The hinges are cracked but holding; a bit of reinforcement would be of help here.. First Thus. Full-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.
