Design has features of Sarah Wyman Whitman due to stylistic devices of corner decoration within a ruled grid and the employment of wreaths, which is seen throughout her work. Bound in brown fine ribbed cloth with a simple, elegant design of four bisecting horizontal and vertical lines, forming 1/1/4 inch corners, where a gilt wreath and bow is placed. Title in center stamped in gilt. Gilt wreath is also placed to top and bottom of spine. Plain endpapers.Notes
