About this Item

Stated 'Second American Edition.' I've rated the book Good Minus solely due to the loss at the top edge of the spine. The book is quite decently bound. I'm not finding any instances of spaces at the junctures between pages. The pages are tight. There is a slight loss of paper at the juncture between the front cover and front end paper leaving a very thin space, visible from the side. The front covers tightly bound. The rear cover is tightly bound as well but no paper loss at its juncture with its rear end paper. You can see the covers in the photos. There is rub through at the corners. The only rubbing on any of the cover edges is a small spot on each of the top ones, just adjacent to the spine. The pages are in decent shape, with occasional small corner creases below their tips, no losses. The foxing is light to moderate. There is a blank label affixed to the front inside cover. A former owner, Philip T. Potts, signed his name twice on it along with two dates in January, 1811. He also signed his name off the top edge of the title page along with the date March 1st, 1811. Across the way on the front end paper Eleanor M. Potts signed her name without a date. Above her name there is a signature of a Maurice P. Marshall with the date 1882. There are also a few tiny penciled letters or numbers off the top edge of both the front inside cover and front end paper. There is no other writing to be found anywhere. There is tanning off the outer edges and bottom edges of both the front inside cover and front end paper. The same is the case off the rear inside cover and rear end paper with the tanning present also off their top edges. There are no markings in the book. The white label on the front inside cover-- which has some rubbing and also has tanning on a small part of it-- is the only attachment to be found in the book. That pretty much covers it.
