Text with decorative head and tailpieces and initial capitals. Vol I has old paper repairs mainly at the corners up to p 19 and some discolouration to the bottom corners up to circa p 99. There is a nibble to the top page edge pp 256-268 and some staining at the bottom edge pp 325-341. There is some mispagination: 369-374-375-372-373-370-371-376; and 383-380-381-378-379-384-385 - both with continuous text. The catalogue of plants is completely mispaginated between pp 33 and 48. All the pages are present - some printed out of order on the verso of others suggesting perhaps that this was an early copy. Apart from the odd mark or spot the text is very clean. Vol II has some browning and marking which particularly affects the side margins. P 1 has lost the top corner which affects the text on p 2 - a facsimile page has been bound in at that point for the reader. P 3 has a small hole in the margin and there are small repaired top page edge tears at pp 203, 260, 265 and 333. There is minor worming in the bottom margin of pp 179-192. There is minor mispagination: 374-537-376; and 392-339-394. Text is continuous.
