Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The binding of this volume is cracked to spine, presumably through sun damage, bumped to corners and internally the text is foxed and stained. 

The fold-out plate is stained but in fairly good condition with no major tears or repairs. 

The handwritten letter is quite interesting and relates to a copy of the Society's minutes and a copy of a book, presumably the one sold here.
