From the net I found:

8" x 13"---646 pages. There is a skip in page numbers in the Theodore & Honoria chapter--from th 260's to the 360's--error?

Printed on rag paper. Binding is probably later--3/4 leather with marbled covers.
Original owner's bookplate inside cover--Charles N.... Sturtevant. Cannot make out the middle name.
