A well worn copy, lacking the original wrappers. The spine has deteriorated, and there is rather crude later thread stitching; two horizontal creases to contents, with tearing into the margins, repairt to title-page recto and verso and p.3, large pieces missing from last three leaves, not affecting text or illustrations but causing loss to the adverstisements, some soiling, fair only, sold has is, but a Gold Rush rarity.
