The Preface states that "Most of the letters contained in this volume have already appeared in the European Magazines ..... The trouble of the Editor will be amply repaid, should the perusal of these letters tend, in however small a degree, to soften those antipathies which have so long divided the two wisest and most powerful nations of modern Europe." The book is very firm and sound and was perhaps bound or rebound much later than its first publications which would have been in paper wrappers only. Edges rubbed and scuffs to paper.
White linen tape to hinges. Previous owner 'George Crompton's book-plate to front inside paste-down. Light spotting mainly
