Description:
Boston, MA: James Munroe and Company, 1847. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, blindstamped brown cloth boards with gilt text on spine. Exterior shows some spotting and soiling, edges and corners show bumps/wear. Corners are somewhat rounded and spine edges are chipped. The only reason for the low condition grade of fair is because it appears the first front end page is missing. The only reason this is suspected is because the front pastedown is pale yellow and the opposite page is not. The remaining binding is good though pages 65-67 has a little bit of play and you can see it sticking out of the exterior page edge by a fraction. The first two blank front end pages very faint evidence of something written in pencil and then erased, to we can just see faint markings and indentations. The first 70 pages is in Greek in the remaining 129 pages is in English and covers notes and metres. Pages are toned but clean with…

Pittsburgh, PA: The Leader All Sorts Co., 1892. Hardcover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, navy blue cloth boards with gilt text on front. Exterior shows scuffing on all sides along with edge and corner bumps. Interior pages are toned due to age and some soiling and fingerprints are present. No signatures or bookplates, no library markings. Overall, binding is good but the quadrant of pages 53-60 are pulling away from the binding at the bottom. This appears to be more of a flaw when the book was bound and not through misuse.

Hardcover, full brown leather binding ornately decorated in gilt on all sides, all three textblock edges also gilt.

Front and rear end pages and pastedowns are of a blind stamped paisley style design. These pages do show darkening in spots along the edges, as seen in the photos.
