Ajouter au panierPoor condition and sold as is with all faults. Collation as [fp], [lacks ffep and probably a front fly], [frontispiece], [title/copyright presumably as 1-2], 3-4, v-viii, 9-22, [plate], 23-38, [plate], 39-70, [plate], 71-176, [missing 177-178], 179-186, [missing 187-188], 189-192, 21-26, [plate], 27-42, [plate], 43-74, [plate],…75-200, 21-22, [plate], 23-52, [missing 53-56], 57-200, [rear fly], [rear fly], [rfep], [rp]. Hardcover: H 15.75cm x L 12.75cm. Original cloth stained and rubbed; top 4cm of spine cloth lacking leaving underlying paper backstrip and quire tips exposed; small cloth loss at frayed spine heel; spine's gilt stamping dulled but legible, front board's gilt vignette still reasonably bright but certainly not vibrant; board corners worn. Edges toned; varied scribbling-writing-doodling in both antiquarian ink and pencil on several initial and rear leaves with occasional instances on interior pages (the ink examples apparently being the efforts of a mid-19th century youthful Tuscaloosa, Alabama resident but with some of the pencil writing reflecting a more modern writing cursive style and therefore might be mush more recent); b/w illustrated plates are age-toned; mostly light moisture stains on early and late leaves; mostly light foxing but with a few leaves strongly afflicted. Binding still reasonably firm. Copyright page indicates a George S. Appleton copyright of 1848; as a quick perusal finds instances of worn type this is likely an 1850s reprint which was utilizing the same printer plates.
