Pages are age-toned and generally clean with some light spots. Frontispiece is reinforced to the reverse. Small chip to page 85/86.

Worming to the head of pages 59 to 202, worm hole a little heavier to pages 101 to 192, affecting only a very marginal amount of text. Prior owner's ink inscription to page 215. Repair to the advert to the rear, with loss of text. Small tide mark to the margin of the last few pages. Good. …
