Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals by E.P.Evans. William Heinemann: London 1906. 384 pages. including appendix with original documents, some in French and Latin. Frontispiece with tissue guard. Original blue cloth with bright gilt lettering on the spine. Not Ex-Library, Not Facsimile, Not Print on Demand.Cover has bumping tp the corner tips, light wear to the cover edges. Front endpaper has a small blue ink rectangle where it looks like an old bookseller's mark was covered over. The front and back inside blank page is browned from apparently a high acid conent paper impression (two pages, see the photos). Generally, the pages are flat and clean with no dog-earing or folds, well I found on light page fold somewhere inside the book. The only previous markings I see, are an occaisional light pencil line in the margin, out lining a passage of interest, easily erasable. I erased some, but could have missed some. BInding is abslolutely tight with no looseness to the pages
