Original green boards, gilt lettering and decoration to spine, plain endpapers; in unclipped dust wrapper showing price 18s. net to front flap. With frontispiece and line drawings in text, including some full-page drawings, by John Ward. 

A clean and tight copy with binding square and pages uninscribed. Lightest bumping to spine and tanning to spine tips and upper front corner and a little foxing and tanning to edges and throughout, primarily to prelims, and thereafter mostly contained to extremities.
