Some light rubbing and wear to the extremities; gift inscription for 1877; slight cracking of inner joints; else a very good copy. So far as we are aware this title was issued in two bindings: pictorial cloth gilt, and pictorial paper-covered boards, the latter being the less expensive. However the paper-covered issue is much rarer, few copies having survived the ravages of the nursery.
