With two early loose 1858 letters to Mr. H. M. Moos, Esq.- one from the author, the second a letter of introduction from T.W. Wise to Mr. Moos.

Attractive antiquarian full grained morocco leather binding, raised & gilt bands, gilt compartment decorations, gilt ruled covers, all edges and turn-ins gilt, marbled end papers. Splendid custom book plate to front paste down.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. 

Binding gently age worn but still appealing, leather and joints slightly rubbed but still supple, top corner of front cover worn down exposing board, remains overall exceptionally bright, clean and attractive as an object.

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. A book which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new.

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this book as it survives. 

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.
