It is the Third Edition, Revised, and survives in its original printed wraps. The pamphlet was printed at the Southern Reporter Office in Selkirk.

The publisher printed a small triangular device depicting a winged dragon on the front cover. 136 years old.

The binding thread remains secure. The rear cover displays some mild surface rumpling, and a tiny bit of loss to the bottom fore-edge tip.There is a tiny discoloration on the fore-edge near the top. INTERIOR : There are a few tiny discolorations at the fore-edges of a few pages (near-negligible in effect).
