The identity of the author of the articles is not known. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and a small blind-stamped publisher's emblem on the bottom corner of the rear board.

The contents are tight and clean with a name and date (1926) written on the front free endpaper and a bookplate on the front free and fixed endpapers.
