by Charles H. Bell, A.M.

CONDITION: This volume is bound in Decorated Leather. John Wheelwright is stamped in gold print on the top of the spine while Boston 1876 is printed on the bottom of the spine. The leather shows ordinary rubbing to the cover edges and fairly heavy wear to the corners, head and foot of the spine.

Note that the title page images are extreme closeups. Yeah, some of the images look a little weird because I tilted the page to prevent reflection from the flash and this resulted in distorted perspective.

The pictures are pretty big, so I have arranged to view them on individual pages as follows:
