The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott, hotsell Bart - First Edition - A Poem in Six Cantos Gold Gilt Embossed Hardcover

This beautiful book is in very good condition, though it does show appropriate age and wear. The edges of the hardcover are hotsell worn through in places and a bit tattered - most notably at the top and bottom edge of spine and the corners (see photos). The pages are very clean but have toning from age, and the binding mesh is slightly visible in the seam between the inside cover and cover page. Lastly there is personalized writing on the cover page (see photo). I can not find a copyright date in this book but it was clearly printed in the late 1800's given the style and typeface. Also the personalized writing backs up this educated guess. It states "J.F. Barnecats (not sure on spelling) Book Presented to him by his parents Dec, 25th 1880".
