Hard Back. Condition: Fair. X + 94 pages, Hard Back binding fair, front poor rubbed with some loss, linen spine good, rear very good. Contents Fair, many pages very good, a few pages rear with base staining/loss, one page with corner folding/tear. Some corner rounding, some with minor ageing or traces of base water staining. Undated c1880. At front is remains of blank end page with an 1890 gift inscription (pasted on newer endpaper). Looks like about 50 years ago some one has rebound this book, repairing and using the original front cover, with a new rear cover and new endpages. This is a curious edition, as seems first published undated in 1880, but was unable to find another edition listed, yet this has a different cover than the other copies found on the net. So not sure if this was published before or after the decorative binding (exactly same Title page) so it is likely published at the same time, this being the average binding/edition and the decorative binding being the more expensive de luxe binding/edition.
