Undated but circa 1870. 899 pages. Red blind stamped cloth with gilt titling and bevelled edges. Spine ends lightly rubbed. Front end paper and half title foxed. Gift label to front pastedown. Institute of St. Charles, Begbroke, Oxford. Given by Canon Caswell, May 1910. Heavy book. postage by quotation.
