Publisher's original red cloth, title, author and publisher in gilt to spine, title and author in gilt to upper cover, black blocked border to covers with fleuron corner pieces. Black end-papers. First issue binding stamped "Spencer Blackett's Standard Library" to the base of the spine. A lovely near fine copy. Boards exceptionally clean and bright with the merest hint of toning to the spine. The gilt lettering to the front board and spine is really bright and with none of the usual dulling. Frontispiece, by Charles Henry Malcolm Kerr lacks the tissue guard, and without publisher's catalogue to the rear found in some copies. W.H. Smith and Son blind stamp to the front free end-paper. Internally clean and fresh. Front hinge starting (a common fault with this book). Spine tips slightly pushed. A very nice copy indeed. Green & Gibson A7a; De Waal 279.
