The glue used to bind the pages had completely broken down, the hinges were broken and the rear end sheet was missing. The French joints of the boards are now strong and the spine strip is completely intact although there is wear and rubbing to the cloth at the head and heel of the spine. The gilt text on the spine remains bright and undamaged. There is an early prior owner's name neatly written on the front paste down over the date 1841. Bound in at the rear of the book is the 18 page Tilt and Bogues Catalogue. 59 pages of text and illustrated throughout with woodcuts and etchings on stone and steel plates by Cruikshank.
