First Edition.

Rare, antique mid 19th century book on duelling in overall good condition. Exterior shows some tatter to the cloth covering the spineface at the outer edges as well as some rubbing to the upper and lower ends of the spine and to the outer corner edges of the coverboards. Exterior is overall clean showing some minor and very old signs of having been wetted some time in the distant past. Interior of the book is likewise for the most part very clean with some mild water staining to the title page and front endpapers before the preface. No other water stains occur throughout the book though there is some occasional soiling or foxing. Book has no odors. Book's original binding is still well intact and the book is complete with all pages present and none coming loose, detached or missing.

Book totals 394 pages, measures approximately 8 x 5 3/8 x 1 5/16 inches and weighs about 1 1/4 pounds.
