Contents clean, tight and secure with no pen-marks and not from a library so no such stamps or labels, just mildly age-toned and an old former owner bookplate to the pastedown. Note: the book doesn't give any publication date, that said the preface is dated 1839. Size: 8vo (200mm x 130mm); collation: pp. 356. Thus a very good copy in very tidy and well preserved condition.
