See photos for condition details. Large thick hardcover, this is volume 1 ONLY of the 1842 edition, which was published in two volumes. The exterior shows scuffing and spotting, with numerous chips and tears along the spine, edges and corners, which are also worn. The exterior is the only reason for the lower condition grade of good minus. The internal binding is good except for some pulling and spots. Pages do show various degrees of foxing, which can be also seen on the image of the title page. There are no bookplates or library markings, no torn or loose pages found. There is some handwriting: the front end page shows us who the original owners were, the inscription reads "Presented to George E. Hogg by his Mother and Father, July 31, 1843."". George Edwin Hogg (1815-1893) was from Pennsylvania and had several children, one of them was Nathaniel B. Hogg - whose signature is present on the title page. The rear end page shows a corner crease at the upper left, all remaining pages appear good. Please note: This is volume 1 only of a 2 volume set.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
