Lacking brass clasp to the book. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for a scattering of spots to the first and last couple of pages. Chemise is sound, though a little rubbed, and leather is split to the front joint. Front hinge is reasonably firm. Losses and a split to the leather of the flap holding one side of the clasp. Leather which is attached to the clasp on this side is tender. The leather to the other flap appears very smart, but there are tears to the silk of the lining. The silk, which is a little soiled, is lifting to the edges of the lining in a couple of places, and may tear upon further handling. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good Indeed .
