Cloth boards a little rubbed around edges, slightly rounded at spine tips, spine label partially chipped away. Bookplate of Charlotte Greenough on front paste down (possibly Charlotte Greenough, Director of the Redwood Library, Rhode Island - America's first purpose built library. Charlotte Greenough devoted herself to finding and returning books that had been bought from England in 1747 for the library's first collection. Her own interest was in French books - such as this one - and she built one of the most extensive collections in the United States). Untrimmed page edges a little worn and discoloured, some mild marginal toning, else remarkably clean and bright internally.
