With a ten page publisher's catalogue to the rear, and a 'Gipsy Hill Sunday School' prize bookplate to the front pastedown, dated 1901, awarding the work to Elsie Garrett.

Internally, firmly bound aside from title page, which is detached but present. Pages clean and age toned to perimeters due to paper type. Very Good. Seller Inventory # 789F30
