CONDITION
A very good copy of this scarce little book. The leather binding is good with some light rubbing to the edges. Small newspaper clipping stuck to the inside front board (a revlew of the book written by [Lord] F. Jeffrey in which he suggests that some of the authors in the book have caricarured the Doric langauage a little). All contents present and pages very good throughout. No foxing or stains. No names or writing to the book. Overall avery good.
