Attractively bound in 19th century half calf over marbled boards. Modest wear at the corners and some rubbing to the hinges. A bit of browning to the page edges, heavy to the first couple of pages, scattered foxing, first few and last few pages lightly creased, lacking the portrait frontis; mostly clean and a nice copy overall.
