The top and fore-edges of both volumes with a smoky brownness, which frequently runs onto the blank margins of the pages, including the title pages and endpapers. Light creasing and faint grey fingerings here and there. Both title pages also a little dusty, with a faint crease on the title page of Volume 1. A crease in the very corner of the first few leaves of Volume 2. The books holding together, but the sections rather uneven.
