Asprey half morocco leather binding with the stamp in gilt to the marbled paper, gilt titles to the spines, five gilt decorated raised bands, blue cloth and leather covered boards, frontispiece to each volume, with further illustrative plates, maps and folding facsimile handwriting plates throughout.
