Octavo. 583, [1, imprint], 16 (publisher's catalog) pages. Publisher's dark blue cloth decorated in gilt and blind. Corners just bumped, head and foot of spine just pushed.

Near fine.Currey notes that only one copy in this binding was examined, containing an inscription dated 22 March 1912. Similar to Currey's examined copy, this is presumed to have been part of a limited special binding for the author, as the inscription predates the general publication date in April 1912.
