Printed and Published by T. Dolby, Britannia Press. Undated, but looks to be early C19th in date. The notice to the public at the beginning of the book describes it as a 'cheap edition'.

Original quarter leather binding with leather spine and corners, marbled boars. The boards are worn and scuffed and the bottom quarter of the leather spine is missing. The hinge between the front board and the spine is split, meaning that the binding is fragile. Internally there is some discolouration and scattered foxing (brown spotting), but mainly very clean considering the age of the book.
