Pages are all edges gilt. The first title is dated from "The valedictory" on page viii. Pencil note to the head of the first title page - Morocco binding. The plates are printed illustrations glued onto blank pages which have been bound in, presumably as extra illustrations. The pages with the illustrations on are wrinkled, soiled and creased, most of them are also browned and spotted. Pages near the illustrations are also browned, some heavily so.
