Some wear and rubbing around edges and corners of binding, bumping to spine and corners, and some markings to boards. Sections of wear to internal and external hinge with back board, but the board remains firmly attached. A few dents, fold and smudges to pages. Some wear to internal page joints and a little pulled at the spine, but otherwise in good antique condition. This scarce book is studied in University courses but the original is hard to find!
