This is a very lovely, vintage novel. The book was published in 1867 by T.H. Carter & Son, Boston. The book measures 5 inches by 7 ½ inches and contains viii, 418 pages. The brown cloth cover has the title in gilt on the spine. The cover shows signs of wear to the edges, corners and to the top, bottom and sides of the spine. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages show no signs of rips. The pages are yellowed but show very little signs of foxing. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of the book is good.
