Rare original 1841 fine leather prize book: "Education par l'histoire ou Ecole des Jeunes gens."  The book is overall in good condition with some minor signs of wear and age.  The green leather covers have some moderate soiling and wear.  The binding is good and sound.  There is a nice old prize bookplate adhered to the front pastedown.  The pag edges are marbled.  The interior is toned from age with some foxing.  Along with that, there may be the very occasional page with some kind of other minor imperfection such as a tiny chip or tear, minor interior crack, creased page corner, minor stain or marking, etc.  Generally though, it's a good copy.  The book measures approximately 6 3/4 inches by 4 1/4 inches and is 283 pages long with an extra illustrated title page and two black and white plates.  The text is in French.  Please look at all of the photos to further note the condition.
