Summary FINE
Assessor HR
Notes Some discolouration (most likely dirt) on the cover (front and rear) and loose threads from the cover. Some spotting on the front cover presumably from dirt over the years. Internally there is a lot of foxing on the pages. It should also be noted that part of the inscription in the frontispiece is in pencil, which is beginning to fade.
