Foxing on illustrations. Bookplate of famed actor John Barrymore (along with a recent penciled note stating that this book was sold for $24.80 as lot B-73 at an auction in 1941 (after the actor's death). Letter (tipped in) and inscription by the author's sister Magdalene (who died in childbirth in 1823 while married to Henry Harvey).
