A great find from a local New England estate!
This scarce antique volume is over 188 years old!
Ex-library.

Volume is also slightly cocked. Otherwise this is an attractive, well-preserved antique volume!
Internally, this volume is in good shape overall. Both boards and all page groupings remain firmly attached to the binding.

Perfectly readable throughout!
