The book measures approx, 10cm(4") by 16.5cm(6.5") and contains 492 pages.
This is the Third volume (Of A Three Volume Set)of the
rare first edition.
This publication was the inspiration behind Alexander Dumas' "Three Musketeers."
The book, has a couple of faults;
The title page is detatched, there is some very occasional areas of light worming at the gutter and lower page area and the inner joints are a little strained with a couple of areas showing binding gaps at the gutter
the above points aside, the text block is complete, still fully bound and in a good general condition with occasional areas of foxing and some dusty gutters.
the original full leather bindings are a little edge worn and bumped with firm joints and some wear/worming to the spine ends and facia
