Seller's Description:
Used-G. This is a public domain reprint of an 1831 Gray and Bowen edition, so the usual warnings about quality apply. However, a quick glance at the text shows it to be a decent copy. There is a smattering of stray inkblots, but they seem to obscure just a letter or two of a word, so the word can generally be made out from the context. On pp.134-5, there is a handwritten marginal note (it looks like it might be the Latin name for the fish under discussion), as anaother example of a flaw in the reproduction. On the plus side, the small pictorial engravings that accompany most entries are reproduced. Light bump to lower fore-edge corner. Otherwise, a very nice clean copy.
