There is some wear as seen The top is gilded and the pages rough cut I seem to have 2 copies of most of the etchings, one on normal paper and one on the thin paper The first few pages, including the portrait and title pages are quite marked The marking gets less and when you are about 20 pages in it is good, no marking and clean There is a similar issue at the back of the book On the last page there is a sticker that is half removed with the name of the Rev T T TA?
There is a stain at the top of the page opposite 280 (its a picture) in fact there seems to stains on the thin paper prints but not necessarily on the same prints on the thicker paper.
