xvi, 178pp, plus a central section on black and white plate illustrations. In dark brown cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine. 8vo. Cloth a little impressed along leading edes, very slightly rounded on corners. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. A very nice clean and crisp copy without dust wrapper.
