This is the second edition of this publication, printed in 1867.
It does contain an inscription - "Birthday present to dear Emma - 1882"
This particular edition is illustrated throughout with detailed representations of various topics. A very interesting read and exemplifies an attitude to life which is still pertinent today.
367 pages in total, the book does show it's age, is still intact, and the print is clearly legible.
Although the cover is worn, it still has a glorious golden shine that gives it an eternal-external beauty.
As the photos illustrate it is indeed an old book bordering on an artwork in both illustrations and literary endeavour.
