A genuine antiquarian copy of "The Latin Reader, Part Second," published in Boston in 1830 by Hilliard, Gray, Little, and Wilkins. This classic nineteenth-century school textbook features a "Stereotype Edition" print cast at the Boston Type and Stereotype Foundry. A wonderful feature of this specific copy is the rare, intact yellow bookseller label on the front inside cover from "Russell, Odiorne & Co., Booksellers & Stationers, No. 134 Washington Street, Boston," offering a fascinating look at the book's historic retail origin.

This book is nearly 200 years old and shows appropriate antiquarian wear. The full leather binding is structurally intact but shows scuffing, edge abrasions, and dark surface staining. The black leather spine label remains present with legible gilt lettering reading "LATIN READER," though it shows chipping. The interior pages show heavy, expected foxing and moisture staining consistent with age, but the text remains fully legible. No missing pages observed.
