Fair only, half leather, heavily worn, coming away at front and rear hinges, very tatty, pages 177-180 lacking and pages 221-236 bound out of order. There is also the remainder of another volume in the rear, but not enough of it to tell what it even was. That said, a very rare Second Great Awakening era periodical.
