Considering that this booklet is 188 years old, it is in decent shape.
The sewn binding is a bit loose but still holding together. There are
creases, tiny tears and light stains. Inside there are corner and edge
creases, and there is quite a bit of age tanning inside and out.
Slight mustiness.
An interesting piece of Rhode Island history!
