No printing date, but the table of dates for Easter starts at 1864 (other versions with no start date). Previous owner’s name on paper label to front paste down, “E. Pym May 23rd 1879”. Brown soft leather covers, gilt fore-edges, gilt titles to spine and front cover, front cover with blind-stamped decoration. Except for the Contents list and Preface, this copy is printed in a large, clear type face. Just octavo in size. Condition: Covers worn, with loss of bottom edge of spine strip and a small area of back cover. Previous owner’s name to front paste down and a second, later to front free end paper. Joint frayed across front end papers, Binding slack but holding; overall a well-used but probably cared-for volume.
