128 pages. Deep blue in color. Illustrated. Philadelphia Charles H Davis 62 North Eighth st 1855. Some of the pages are spotted with brown, possible water marks. There is an oval at the top of the spine, mostly illegible, but I can see the word "library" at the bottom of the oval and there is at least one other word above that, possible one above that one also. This book was entered in to the library of congress in 1854.
