| Copynotes: | There is no marginalia or any other markings found within the item.
The text-block is in good condition, only showing signs of wear and deterioration on the corners of some of the pages, there are faint signs of marbling(?) remaining on the fore-edge of the text-block . The binding is poor to fair, a mottled calf on the boards which differs to that on the spine. It appears it has been poorly re-bound.
