Description: New York, Hurst and Co, 1872. Wraps. Orange wraps. 49 pp. plus many pages of ads for books and novelty items (illustrated) in the rear. A few illustrations throughout the text.

Also present is an illustration and ad for the American telegraph instrument. GOOD condition. Heavy dampstaining along the extremities and margins throughout, sometimes slightly affecting the text. Minor soiling, fading and staining to the covers. Some wrinkling and creasing, with splitting along the spine tips. Owner's signature and inscription present on the title page. Good .
