The book measures 11" tall x 9 1/4" wide. Condition: Clean covers and spine. Cloth tears at the cover corners, and at the top and bottom edges of the spine.

The pages are in nice condition with an occasional light smudge here and there (primarily at the outer margins), and a 1" tear at the outer edge of the title page. Name/date (1883) written in ink on the back of the frontispiece. Overall the book is in Good- condition. …
