Hannah More was a remarkable person. A bookplate was cleanly removed, apparently a Century ago, from the front endpage. The Frontis page, bearing the 1786 portrait of the author, has come loose and was re-affixed, in the Civil War period fashion, by a straight pin. There is a name and "Ridgebury Academy, 1844" in manuscript on the first title page. There is no dust jacket. There is wear at the spine-ends and tiny pinheads of wearthrough at the leading corners. No mustiness, No looseness, No smoke smell. Just that one name, title page. No other markings, No bookplates, NOT Ex-Library, NOT Remainder-marked.
