Attractive early leather binding of half black calf. Spine with raised bands, each with gilt floral design. Compartments ruled in gilt and decorated with blind stamped chain borders. Red morocco title label, ruled and lettered in gilt. Moire silk cloth on boards. Plain green endpapers. All edges speckled. The front hinge is cracked to the surface of the leather but holding firm.
