About This Item
Hartford, Connecticut: American Publishing Co, 1884. First edition?. Decorative Cloth. Fair. An original copy, still useful. Octavo, 8 3/4" tall, 479 pages with intertextual illustrations, decorated gray cloth. A fair copy only but the exact printing is uncertain because the title page as well as pages #15-16 (a portion of the contents listing) missing, boards are worn through at corners, cover cloth soiled, back strip cloth is fraying, hinges cracked but secure, binding shaken, and, paper moderately yellowed and with scattered foxing throughout. Still a good reference reading copy but not worth re-binding. Sold as is.
