Murray, has added a number of illustrations and newspaper clippings to the endpaper and blank areas within the book, along with handwritten notes, some of it connected with fishing, with a handwritten list of lakes and what fish can be caught, also a list of the highest hills in the area, a handwritten chart at front giving the monthly rainfall in the Dunkeld area for the years 1859 through to 1867, and other notes of local interest. The binding is in a very worn state, loss of leather to spine, both boards are virtually detached from the binding, some old tape repair marks along spine edge, internally some light marks to the contents, one page browned due to a newspaper clipping that has been left between those pages (pictured) creasing to endpapers, a few other small marks else in good general condition. BINDING IS IN NEED OF REPAIR, BOARDS ARE VIRTUALLY DETACHED. ELSE A VERY INTERESTING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE BOOK WITH MANY ADDED HANDWRITTEN AND OTHER PIECES BY ITS ORIGINAL OWNER.
