About This Item
London: Ward, Lock & Co., Limited. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket. 12mo. 203 pages. Hardcover bound in red cloth with cover designs in gilt. The binding is worn and a bit stained and has some damp spots on the front cover. The gutter between the front flyleaf and the portrait frontis is cracking. The text block seems generally sound, but still a reading copy. No date, but appears to be late 19th or very early 20th century.
