Soft cover. Condition: Poor. Here is an old issue of Ballou's Monthly Magazine, being Volume XLI, No. 4, published in 1875. The magazine was very popular in its day. The contents present an assortment of fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. The condition of this issue is rough, but it is complete, and offers a touchstone of sorts to the past. This is the original issue, just as published, with sewn wraps. (Please read our full condition report, given below.) The essay on the Nithsdales is, on its own, worth the price of admission. The earl had joined the Jacobite rebellion. He was captured at the Battle of Preston, and hence imprisoned.

There is a central, vertical crease. BINDING : The thread is holding, and while the contents are intact, the issue as a whole is fragile. INTERIOR : Stains, smudges, and scattered foxing are throughout; the leaf with pp 389 & 390 has a very old tape mend on the bottom edge - this leaf was sliced cleanly, cutting the bottom portion of the taped text, which has been saved and lays between the leaves. AS I HAVE SAID, THE CONDITION IS ROUGH. Old wood-cuts (illustrator).…
