The inscription, which is on the front free endpaper reads 'For Lady Phillimore with EVB's Love'. The green cloth binding has gilt titles and a gilt peacock to the front board and spine.

Spine ends are pulled and there is light wear to corners. Top page edges gilted. Contents are complete and clean with black and white frontispiece and 7 further black and white plates by EVB. Publisher's catalogue at the rear. There is occasional foxing, for example at the beginning of the prologue and including the half title and title page.
