Tail of spine has a couple of minuscule nicks, both covers have picked up a little dust-soil and offset color, text leaves bear scattered light foxing. Find twenty wood-engraved illustrations in the text, which is complete. Text in French.
An account of the Chinese at home, by a missionary active in Guizhou.
