CONDITION
A very good copy. The cloth binding remains very good with the gilt still bright. Previous owner was a John Guthrie, town clerk, Crail as there is a small label with his name pasted to the front endpaper. A tad spotting to the endpapers and to the tile page but text pages clean throughout. Overall a very good copy.
