From Foreword: There is a reason for this little book, and the reason is that every man and woman has a leaning towards material blessings. Everybody has an interest in the works of human nature and the good things of earth. For all such enthusiasts of life this book is intended, in the hope that they may find much of the best that is worth toasting presented in these pages.In brief, this book is intended to deal with the social and domestic relations of life. It is designed to be earthy; not of the grovelling earth, but of the earth which gives us its blessings; blessings which richly deserve these toasts and tributes.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (SD). This is a book about toasts and tributes, of all kinds on all occasions. There are lots of them, 301 pages worth. You can see the covers in the photographs. They look pretty good. The gilt lettering and gilt and green design have held up quite well. It's nice and shiny on the front. The spine ends have just a little crinkling. There is one teeny tiny spot of rub-through on the front middle edge, otherwise the edges are in very nice shape, quite bright as well. The top page edge is gilt. It looks very good, very shiny. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. They did a good job. The spine does have a forward lean but the book is solidly bound from cover to cover. I found only three instances of a very thin space at the juncture between two facing pages. All six pages were tightly bound from top to bottom. The covers are nicely, tightly bound, the junctures between them and their facing end papers are free of wear. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I haven't found any instances of soiling (not really soiling, but there is a teeny tiny black spot just off the edge of the 'Books by Mr. Gray's page). I haven't found any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.

A humorous lifting of the glass to Adam and Eve (or to the lot of descendent men) : "Here's to the Garden of Eden/Which Adam was always a-weedin'/Till Eve by mistake/Got bit by the snake/Who on the ripe pippins was feedin'/Then a longing it seemed to posses her/For clothing sufficient to dress her/And ever since then/It's been up to us men/To pay for her dresses --- God bless her", and an old English toast. "May fair clothes always cover fair hearts", and more somber, "Dress has a moral effect on the conduct of mankind" (Sir John Barrington). A collection to enjoy in private or with others, with or without glass in hand. Fine copy.
