A collection of 55 bookplates, each printed on a separate page (Fuller 90).

Plates by T.S. Simson, Frank Bramley, and E.B. Ricketts, with a colophon engraved by the latter. Bookplates of P.K. Randeria and Ambrose Ellis Aspinwall Dunston, b. 1895, The King's Own Royal Regiment, Burltons (Fox-Davies, Armorial Famililes, p. 262), both prominent 20th century collectors, on the front pastedown endpapers.
