Boards a little soiled and grubby, lightly rubbed at at edges with rounded corners. Internally some page aging else clean, neat and tight, with a stamp on the front free endpaper stating 'with the publisher's compliments'. Blackwood's amusing pen and ink sketches are delightful - the Indian elephant reading in particular. Uncommon is early editions and scarce in this 'good' condition.
