Hardbound. Burled and grained fancy leather with gilt design along esges, all edges are gilt. 91 pp + unpaginated full-page plate engravings. The last copyright date is 1864, but I believe the actual date may be in the 1880s. This appears to be a high quality re-publication of some individual books published in the 1860s, here grouped into one book. Beautiful leather binding would benefit from some attention from a binder. VG internally, front cover about to come off.
