The binding although in good condition has lightly faded over time especially to the spine and there is light discolouration and lifting of the cloth. Top edge of the text block gilt and still fairly bright while the fore edge remains clean. Green marbled endpapers with book plate to the front paste down. Previous owners' neat signature to one of the prelims. Pages otherwise are very clean throughout with no further inscriptions, marks or foxing.
