A very scarce pamphlet, which as can be seen from the images, is a little browned and worn. The 4 leaves are delicately held together from the tiny remnants of an early spine. The edges are a little chipped and nicked, an...d have been closely cropped in places, with loss of first and last letters to sentences to the 3rd and 4th leaves, see images. The bottom of the last leaf has been folded up a little, see images. The front page has the remnants of a small label to the top left corner, and there are a couple of ink numbers to the top right corner, the date has been added in ink, and there is a little ink to the bottom edge. Little marked. Small tissue repair to one leaf. Else in reasonable condition for age and scarcity.
