This book has been re-bound, hard-bound in a fine binding of smooth green leather with gilt-stamping, raised bands, and gilt stamped leather labels on the spine.

The contents are bright and legible, with vignette illustrations, but also with some damp-staining to the outer edge of some of the pages.
