---------------------------------------
Additional comments, October 22, 2014:
The binding has edge wear and very slightly bumped corners. The upper shoulder and spine show some stress but remain sound. Cyril Flowers' bookplate is pasted inside the front cover.
The paper is lightly toned - a little more pronounced toward the edges. There are good margins top and bottom, a little close by proportion at the foredge, but still nearly an inch from the text. The wraps and final advertisement were not retained.
The binder's label "Birdsall & Son Northampton" is stamped on the inside lower edge of the front flyleaf.
