Which are slightly grubby and creased with some loss to the spine ends and minor chips to the front and rear covers. The text block is slightly toned, foxed and dusty. View more info

Green boards with gilt decoration on front and spine. The date is an estimate as I cannot find any reference to the book. The publisher operated under this name between 1878 and 1888. The boards are in good condition, the corners are scuffed but they are detached from the text block. The text block is clean and firmly bound and appears to be unread. Top edge is gilt that is faded; edges are slightly spotted. Book plate laid in, Walter Flinn. Illustrated by Phiz View more info
