Hinges and edges rubbed and some light scuffing to spine, 20th c. former owner bookplates to front pastedown and front endpaper, early ink signatures to half-title and title (dated 1709,) front margin cropped closely throughout but shaving only a few letters and in only a few instances, some marking throughout in red pencil (erasable) but otherwise a clean example with minimal age-toning.
