London: Macmillan and Co., 1900. Ornate red morocco gilt by Ramage, covers with a central quatrefoil cartouche framed with a seme border, this surrounded by a vinework arabesque design, the vines terminating in onlaid peacock feathers or leaves, gilt rule; spine in six compartments lettered in the second, broad ornate dentelles (signed by Ramage at the foot of the lower front dentelle), cream silk pastedowns and endleaves, all edges gilt. 5 7/8 x 3 3/4 inches (15 x 9.75 cm); 111 pp. Very light rubbing.
