Just as seller described it, in very good condition for an 1833 first edition. Inscribed as a gift in1856 and, by the looks of it, read exactly once, the only evidence of having been read at all being the few pages that had been turned down and back again so long ago as to be hardly perceptible. Seller described book carefully, confirmed purchase immediately, packaged the book very carefully, and shipped it quickly. Great seller!
