428 pp. Period full maroon grained leather binding, smooth spine with gilt rules and title, boards outlined in gilt border. Spine chipped at head as seen in photo. Contents a bit shaken, couple of signatures sprung, scattered foxing and spotting. Engraved frontis, edge of sheet trimmed, image torn and with early repair.
Still, a remarkable early 19th century book discussing at length and in great detail marriages, domestic happiness, jealous wives, the "duty of a good wife", conjugal relationships, "the snares of personal beauty", etc. Many fascinating hours of reading here we should think.
