Philadelphia, PA: McCarty & Davis, 1827. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, original 1827 publication which appears to have been rebound with cloth in the late 19th to early 20th century. Exterior shows soiling and spotting and leather labels on spine are fragile, brittle and cracked with the both labels having large sections missing. Top right corner of exterior page edges has a dampstain present in stains can be seen along the top edge of numerous pages inside. Internal binding is good for the majority of the text pages though front and rear boards show hinge cracks and front free end pages are loose and detached. The first front end page has the upper right corner missing and shows where a price was once penciled in the corner. Title page shows the signature of several of the original owners with some crossed out. The biggest condition issue is the dampstains along the top edge. This seems to be the worst in the front and rear of the book, but for the most part affects the majority of the pages. Paper is toned/brown due to age and foxing is present throughout with some pages being pretty freckled. Front pastedown contains the law publisher business label of Geo. T. Bisel Company along with the stamped name of the Pennsylvania attorney who likely had the book rebound. Note: this is the original publication from the 1800s and not a modern reprint. This is volume 13 only as each volume was published independent of each other and over a range of multiple years.
