Rebound in red buckram with gilt title on spine, internally a very good unmarked copy. With a short introduction by Peter Cowell, Chief Librarian, summarising the generous gift of a fine library in the will of Hugh Frederick Hornby of Wavertree, along with the sizeable sum of 10,000 to assist the authorities to provide a building in which to store the collection - a job they did with aplomb.
