The book is undated, but has an inscription in the front dated May 5th 1878.

The book is being offered in good antique condition, the only real issue is that the front cover is lifting slightly along one edge, I have made no attempt to rectify this. The pin in the clasp hinge had been slightly protruding, as seen in some photos, I have pushed it back into position, as seen in some photos.
