N.B. Poison Book Project's Arsenical Books Database includes an 1845 example of this title by the same publisher. Mid nineteenth century green cloth binding, cased or bound upside down.
Although this binding was not tested, we suspect it may sport a binding cloth dyed with toxic elements. Cyanide and arsenic were sometimes involved in creating vivid dyes for fabrics, including greens and blues. For instance, arsenic was used in the production of Scheele’s Green and Paris Green, which were extremely popular despite their toxicity. WE WILL INCLUDE A PAIR OF VYNAL GLOVES.
