On the spine and the front cover, there are characters which appear to be of an East Asian script, likely Japanese. There's also a smaller script on the spine, possibly indicating a title or classification. In the top right corner of the front cover, there is a small label with what seems to be more Japanese text, possibly a volume number or part of a cataloging system.

In the bottom left-hand corner of the cover, there's a rectangular white label with printed English text.

Lives of Buddhist priests, 2 vols." This suggests that the book is a two-volume set, published in Tokyo in 1862, and that it pertains to the lives of Buddhist priests. The number "59" is handwritten on the label, possibly an identification or reference number.
