About This Item
H. S. Nichols & Co., London, 1894. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Poor/No Jacket. 423 pages (complete). In general poor condition. The cloth cover, although scruffily dignified has much wear, staining and marking from storage. The corners, edges and seams are much worn. The front decoration is persistent in its elegance. Former library copy (Natal Mounted Police). The contents are much marked and affected by damp, thoughtless storage, about the edges of the pages. There is foxing throughout. However, the contents are tight against the spine, assured, resolute, stoic, clear, entertaining and may be read with utter confidence and enjoyment. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
