Brown publisher's cloth with gold lettering and design stamped on spine. The covers are a bit worn, with slight loss of cloth at corners and bottom edge and a bit of scuffing and wear. Top edge gilt, untrimmed fore edges. The spine is slightly cocked. Brown paste-downs and free endpapers. Sewn textblock, with a split after the endpapers and first leaf. The text is still tight with no loose pages. Previous owner's name is written, in ink, on second end paper.
