Original green blind-stamped cloth, spine lettered in gilt (extremities lightly rubbed, neat repairs to spine ends and hinges, foot of text block slightly chipped not affecting text). Provenance: C. [?]Fr. Wreaks (ownership inscription on title dated 24th January 1860) – C. J. Wreaks (ownership inscription on front endpaper) – S. B. Wakeman (possibly Stephen Banks Wakeman of Saugatuck, Connecticut, 1835-1930, noted for his role in local agricultural societies; ownership inscriptions in pencil on endpaper and title, possibly his pencil annotations to the margins) – Liberal University Library (remains of label) – Dr. Brant Mittler (sold Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, 9 November 2021, lot 8).
