About This Item

It was a popular book in its day, and is thus relatively common now. The 1860 issue had no illustrations, but is said on the title page to be revised from the first. It has its original pressed, brown cloth with some fraying at the spine ends, but clean and tight inside. Pages 586 with an index. Protected in a mylar dustjacket..
