It is the first Daniel book entirely in black letter and is well printed ... A very desirable volume to possess, and the only example of a second edition in the Daniel Press ... The binding is light blue boards, and on the vellum back 'Growth of Love - Bridges', this being the first (accidental) acknowledgement of authorship' (Madan: 'Daniel Press', page 104).
