Contemporary half leather binding, with gilt lettering on spine and marbled paper over boards. Original paper wrap covers are retained.

Book plates on front end leaves. Original paper covers show slight wear along edges. Occasional light smudges in contents. Folding map shows two, 2 inch, closed tears where tipped in, and only in open spaces of map. Plates remain very nice, though there are small tears on two tissues guards in blank spaces.
