With 19 full-page illustrations. Decorative floral end papers.

Condition:
There are a few tiny stains on the covers and spine, otherwise clean with bright gilt decorations and lettering; sharp corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. The text pages nearly appear unread with only a name/date (1883) and "$2.00" written in colored pencil on the title page...no other issues found. Ink stamp on the front pastedown, and an interesting ink stamp on a blank front end paper and on the back-side of the frontispiece ("Damn others as you would like to be damned yourself; His head is right and level - Who has neither God or Devil; Pay as you like to be paid"). Overall the book is in very good condition.
