xiv, 354pp, sparsely illustrated with black and white plates and musical score extracts. Green cloth-covered boards, elaborately decorated with gilt pattern, gilt lettering front and spine. Top edge gilt. 8vo. Cloth a little pushed at spine ends. Ungilded edges a little toned. Front and rear hinges cracked else internally neat and clean.

There is an interesting gift inscription on the front free endpaper from Sir Israel Gollancz (1893-1930), first secretary of the British Academy to Constance Schweich, who Gollancz described in this correspondence as his friend. Constance Schweich (1869-1951) was a wealthy philanthropist and patron of the arts. The inscription is dated 1906, the year before Schweich made a substantial donation to the British Academy, in memory of her father, which led to the recreation of the Schweich Lectures on British Archaeology.
