Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 160 pages, a near fine hardback, contemporary green part leather binding with gold gilt and five raised bands to the spine, and speckled boards in between. Also the end papers with the same speckled design and top page edges are gold gilt. A superb Victorian book that was originally part of Audenham House, Herts. [Gibbs Family after 1671].
