The spine is heavily rubbed, with the gilt lettering largely faded and only partially legible. Rubbing also present along the joints. Boards exhibit scattered white flecking and generalised surface wear, with the decorative design dulled but still discernible. Despite external wear, the volume remains square and intact. Internally, the contents show light handling, most evident through the endpapers, though the text block itself remains generally clean and well ordered. A serviceable, if well-used, copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"1135\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"684\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"1135\"\u003eFirst edition of \u003cem data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"729\"\u003eSatires of Circumstance\u003c\/em\u003e by Thomas Hardy, published in London by Macmillan \u0026amp; Co. in 1914.
