From the Collection of Dr. Jeremiah P. Starling

Some scuffing to boards, one small area rubbed, and evidence of a couple of repairs to lower board; light edge wear, corners rubbed and bumped; interior with hinges cracked, occasional light handling wear, and toning and scattered foxing (mostly extremely light and concentrated at endpapers); a couple of subtle and professional repairs, including a small one to title page at inner margin. A sturdy, clean, and very good copy.
