London, George Newnes Limited, New York, Charles Scribner's Son, 1905. 16 x 9 cm, un frontispice gravé, 767 pp. Relié plein maroquin vert, dos à nerfs, caissons richement ornés, titre doré, plats décorés selon un modèle de reliure écossaise traditionnelle dite de la "roue écossaise" du XVIIIème siècle, contre plats à encadrements de roulettes, gardes de soie, filet doré sur les coupes, cannelures sur les coiffes, toutes tranches dorées. Reliure légèrement salie avec quelques pertes de dorés, sinon superbe reliure signée Morrell Binder. Ex-libris de Diane Gratzmuller. L'atelier de reliure londonien de W. T. Morrell a été créé vers 1861 succédant à celui créé par Francis Bedford, qui avait lui-même repris le célèbre atelier de reliure de Charles Lewis. Prideaux, dans Modern Bookbindings (1906), indique que Morrell avait à l'époque une très grande entreprise qui fournissait "à tous les libraires des reliures conçues par ses employés", des reliures "remarquables par leur variété et leur mérite". La reliure en question rappelle les reliures "à roue" produites en Écosse au dix-huitième siècle. Livres.
