And with an illustrated titlepage designed by his wife, Grace Gallatin Seton, printed in black and white. 8vo, publisher's original blue cloth, lettered and decorated on the spine and upper cover in gilt. xv, 552 pp. A very nice copy, especially so as this was a book often read time-and-time again.
