from preface: " ...A year and a half of home life, in the picturesque and historic Valley of the Mohawk, had served only to increase a desire to revisit these vast and interesting regions; so full of geographical and historical information; so replete with scenes of wonder and beauty; sublime, yet ugly; magnificent, yet rough; beautiful, yet mean; which can be found in no other country-somewhat of the kind the Grecian poets gave a local habitation in the northern coast of Africa, as peculiarly the unknown land of mysteries."

photos carefully
as they are part of the description. I am human and sometimes miss a thing or 2, but I
try to mention the book's main faults
. all of my books are VERY OLD and have 100+ years of wear to varying degrees
good plus condition.... for its very old age:
boards -
very secure, some very light small spots
textblock
-
pages very secure /
book is slightly cocked
outer joints
- back one is pretty good, front one has repairs [ as part of the spine end repairs] - see last 2 pictures
spine ends
- both repaired.. pretty good job!
tips
- worn through & touched up
inner hinges
-  very good, but the ffep is missing
pages
- generally clean, some sporadic spotting
writing
- no
rips /folds
- one 3" rip [ shown] - apx 4 folds
other:
- looks like some of the gilt letters on the spine were re-done ["Beyond the"],
as well as [possibly] the gilt letters on the front cover - nice job!
