Glasgow; nd (ca.1899): David Bryce & Son. Octavo. 8 volumes in four contained in a box designed to look like a book, illustrated.

Books are bound in green cloth lettered and decorated in a black floral design with gilt lettering, reproduced on spines, each title with its own title pages, housed within a green cloth covered clamshell resembling a book, gilt lettering to upper board, spine lettered and decorated in a matching floral design with gilt lettering, publisher's full page label listing the contents mounted to the verso of the upper board.
