Saratoga Springs, NY: G. M. Davison, 1838. 2nd Edition . Hardcover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, original green cloth binding with leather label on spine. Exterior shows scuffing and soiling as well as fading on edges, front board has two circular stains - presumably from the book being use as a drinking glass coaster. This is caused some bumping this to the cloth as well as loss to the shine. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight. Paper is very toned due to age and there is spotting and foxing present. The front pastedown contains two signatures (one crossed out) from the original owners. The pastedown also has a small sticker in the upper corner from an old bookstore many decades ago.
