Exquisite marbled endpapers, very clean and bright. Previous owner inscription to second free endpaper, no other writing throughout. Some foxing but mainly to endpapers and title page...most pages there is little to no foxing, with bright clean white pages.

364 pages with 2 pages of the original 1719 publisher's adverts at back.
