The broadsides and the final, small, pamphlet appear to be unrecorded. Not in the NLS. The contemporary cloth binding is sound. Original endpapers intact. Some wear to head and tail of spine. Water-staining to endpapers, but pamphlets are generally very clean save for some minor smudging and a few pencil marks and one or two corrections in ink.
