Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

[In fact].Nicholson's borrowing is. selective and discriminating. He does not reprint whole works; he omits words or phrases from time to time, edits judiciously, and eliminates mention of specific English practice in favor of a general phrase or an American practice." A little scattered minor foxing, otherwise Good.…
