NY: D. M. Bennett. Good with no dust jacket. 1876. Second Edition. Original Cloth. Cover is in poor condition. The front is especially soiled & damp damaged. The fep is stuck to the inside of the cover and is wrinkled, as are the first few pages. the balance of the book is very good, although the pages are somewhat wavey. Interesting, that the date on the tilte page is covered with a sticker giving the Bennett name. Underneath it appears to say "Charles Somerby." Printer's error, or a change of publisher at the last minute? It does state "second edition" on the title page.; 5 1/2 x 8" .
