Very Good
The original tree calf is very attractive and shows few signs of use, in both volumes the endpapers are a bit browned, there are some light marginal dampstains to the front section and rear section of volume 2 only including the margins of the last two plates. These damp marks are very faint and do affect the text or contents of the plates. Very good copy.
