Sir Percy Cox,/G.C.M.G.,G.C.I.E.,K.C.S.I./Alexander-Ouseley, Limited/Windsor House, Victoria St., Westminster, London, S.W.1". Pages xviii, 200. Six plates, map at rear. Original green cloth, gilt titling. FIRST EDITION. Copy from the St. Marylebone Lending Library. Please note the following condition points: has library paper label on front free paste-down endpaper, with Withdrawn stamp; front free end-paper has light marks of label having been removed.

All plates have the small library ownership stamp on the reverse side. Library ownership stamp on the corner of page 101. Library ownership stamp on rear of map.
