Mosley', to the front paste down. Some splitting to the front inner hinge between the title page and foreward page, leaving the front board a little shaken. Slightest of chipping to the front fore edge of the front end paper. Previous owners name inscription to the top corner of the half title page. Slight neat crease to one corner of the rear paste down and there are also a couple of light scratches to the front fore edges. The textblock remains clean and tight. A very good minus copy of this first edition.
