The dark blue morocco-grained cloth binding remains exceptionally tight and structurally sound, presenting beautifully despite expected signs of age. The spine exhibits minor rubbing and gentle bumping to the head and tail, yet the gilt tooling and lettering remain bright and unoxidised. The boards show only faint scuffing and minimal edge wear. Internally, the volume is highly commendable; the original fold-out frontispiece is remarkably crisp and well-preserved. The text block is firm, and the pages display a light, uniform age-toning typical of 19th-century paper stock, remaining entirely free from foxing or heavy blemishes. An excellent, robust survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Second edition.
