Full paneled leather binding. (2 blank leaves after fr.endpaper)+t.p.+xiv (Whately Intro.)+half-title+errata sheet (10 x 14 cms)+126 (King's text to p.80, Whately's Appendix to end)+ 2 blanks before end-paper; text-block firm and unmarked until final leaf and end blanks which have an circa 11 cm. diagonal grey water-stain which extends in darker thin strip down most of outer edge, similar water stain down edge of verso fr. endpaper (recto being brown), and fainter strips to outer edges of subsequent leaves, inc., very slightly, the t.p., centre front endpaper has a darker brown rectangular patch, possibly a label removal ghost, subsequent blank has small number top outer corner of little significance but resists erasure; the covers are horizontally textured leather but all top and spine edges very faded to some depth, outer edges have thin strips similarly affected, extrems. moderately bumped, 1 cm. chip to top spine which is quite darkened athough label is clear) and has small chip to bottom below a very small hole. Slipped in is a photocopy of a 1978 Notes and Queries review by Simon Blackburn of 1976 limited 98 pp. edition (200 copies) titled 'Archbishop King's Sermon on Predestination' by Cadenus Press (Monkstown, Ireland) intro & ed. by D.Berman and A. Carpenter respectively.
