Three-quarters brown morocco, cloth sides. 12 3/8 x 7 1/2 inches (31.5 x 19 cm); 235, [1] pp., collating [A]^(2) B-V^(2) W^(2) X-2V^(2) 2W^(2) 2X-3I^(2) [3K]^(2). Light binding wear, Bar Association stamp on title, occasional minor foxing or toning, generally a clean copy, the blank portion of the final leaf cut away. Brigadier-General George Weedon's copy, with his signature prominently displayed at the head of the title.
