Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Stamped Cloth. Very Good. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Gilt on spine faded but legible. Browning throughout. A few markings. Overall, a very nice copy for its age.

87 pages. Hardcover: H 15.75cm x L 10cm. Original dark brown cloth boards marred by patches of surface chipping and slender wear along edges; spine's surface cloth mostly perished with recessed losses into front and rear joints and underlying paper backstrip exposed lengthwise, shallow chipping at spine head but with spine heel worn even with text block's bottom edge. Joints/hinges as well as binding remain firm. Toning to front and rear free endpapers; antiquarian ink ownership inscription on front free endpaper as well; full page of handwritten essay in pencil on front flyleaf; pencil notes on blank bottom half of page 53; varied toning and foxing to interior text leaves; several rear leaves affected by light moisture stains at their fore-edge margins. With unpaged b/w frontispiece illustration and unpaged b/w plates between pages 40-41 and 64-65 all signed "Howland."
