The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and a gold emblem on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear on the boards and slight fading to the spine. The bottom corners and top of the spine arr slightly bumped. The contents are tight and clean although most of the pages show some foxing. The foxing is generally light to moderate with a few pages, including the title page, being more heavily affected. The edges of the text block are also foxed and this has seeped into the margins of some pages. There is a name and date (1913) together with an address written on the front free endpaper.
