Three Years in Melbourne
London, L. Booth, 1862.
Octavo, xii (last blank), 300 pages.
Original green cloth decorated in blind; gilt-decorated spine; covers lightly rubbed and marked; outer hinges splitting (but binding remains sound); extremities slightly bumped; edges dust-stained; endpapers a little discoloured and tape-marked; minor conservation and a little loss to the top margin of two consecutive preliminary leaves (opened carelessly); mild signs of age and handling (a few marks; emphases in blue pencil to a few pages; tiny edge tears and chips due to careless opening); overall, a very presentable copy.
A contemporary signature is written in ink on the half-title (indecipherable, but perhaps 'James Rinder'?). The early initials 'JC' are written in blue pencil on the front free endpaper (presumably by the person responsible for the few annotations).
