The binding remains firm, tight, and structurally sound. Internally, the pages are crisp, clean, and entirely free of foxing, with only a negligible, faint smudge to the bottom edge of the text block. The accompanying cream dust jacket is largely clean and intact with only minor shelf-wear and light surface rubbing typical of matte paper, presenting excellently overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e This is a high-quality facsimile reprint of the original edition published by John Murray.
