Original dark green cloth with blind decorations and lettering to the front board and decorations blind stamped and gold gilt lettering stamped to the spine. Lower edge of the text block untrimmed. Initial and terminal blanks plus half-title present. Printed by Cassell and Company. Condition: GOOD. Binding tight, secure and square. Slightly bumping and rubbing to spine ends. Slight soiling to spine. Light spotting at fore edge, the remaining textblock largely very tidy. Author's neatly inked inscription to half-title page. Lacking dust jacket. Scarce thus.
