This Book Is In Generally Good Condition, With Some Rubbing On The Corners And Edges. The Covers And Spine, Both Full, Dark Brown Leather, Show Some Scuffing. The Hinges Have Been Reinforced With Leather To Match Closely That Of The Covers.The Endsheets Appear To Be Of A More Recent Vintage.  All Else Is Original.  Inside, The Binding  And Sewing Are Tight. All Pages And Illustrations Are Present And  Without Markings Of Any Nature. This Edition Also Contains "The Lives Of The Authors, And Notes Historical, Critical, And Explanatory" By Sir John Hawkins.  While Being A Sound Copy Of The Very Scare Third Edition Of This Title, The Book Is At The Same Time A Delightful Read On The Joys, Foibles, And Frustrations Of Trying To Outwit One Of God's Dumbest Creatures.  As A Collectable Classic It Is A Valuable Addition To The Library of Any Book Collector.
