Probable mid-20th century rebinding but with spine's surface leather mostly perished; patterned brown boards with surface and edge abrasions. Endpapers toned; past owner's O'Casey family Mississippi and Ireland genealogical-themed bookplate affixed to front pastedown; ink name stamp "Albert E. Casey, M.D." at tops of ffep, ffly, and rp; dark stain at bottom margins of early leaves; some foxing and light soiling to interior leaves; particularly strong toning/foxing affects last two plates which are opposite pages 591 and 624. Binding is firm. Sold as is as - book needs to be rebacked but now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj which modestly enhances shelf appearance. Presumably all forty "Phiz" plates (including frontispiece and pictorial title) are all that should be present but Chapman and Hall did not see fit to include an illustration list/collation. Acquired from the estate of Birmingham, Alabama pathologist, bibliophile, and genealogist Dr. Albert Eugene Casey (1903-1982) who served as director of laboratories at Birmingham Baptist Hospitals from 1942-1972.
