Includes the dedicatory letter to the King (George I), preface and prologue. Comparing to scans on archive.org, this is missing the final two pages with the Epilogue--printed copies of those scans are included for completeness's sake. Darkening/discoloration most apparent on the first few pages (title page, reverse of title and first page of the letter to the king), otherwise discoloration/spotting is minor to somewhat moderate throughout--see photos. Covers have a few chips, minor general wear, final page and back cover are pulling away from the binidng at the bottom, but overall binding remains secure. A few inconsequential pencil marks here and there, otherwise interior is unmar
