Your post caused me to think about the fact that I could probably come up with more ratings than I did, what with the book being originally written and/or published in 1850 as it was, and there likely being other rated editions to be found (I always like to find at least 20 ratings on a book that I post, so as to have as valid an average rating as possible).
I found two other editions at Amazon with ratings. Both had two ratings, and both had 5.0-star averages. At GoodReads, I found one other edition. It was rated 3.0, from 3 ratings. So, the average of all ratings comes to somewhat less than 5.0, but it is still very high. It looks like this would be a very good quality book to read.
