xxv, 385 pages. Frontis and 88 other engravings. (4to), bright blue cloth, gilt decoration on upper board, gilt titles on spine, a.e.g., others deckle, in a jacket made from printer’s scrap of an 1869 religious textbook.
The 1869 book that supplied the jacket and this volume were both bound by Burn of London—therefore, the jacket evidently supplied by the bindery, as was common. Examples have rarely survived; scarce thus.
