With illustrators such as: the Dalziel Brothers, R. Knight, H. Orrin Smith, J. Swain, H. Grenaway, W. Thomas, and many more. Edited by Andrew Halliday, a Scottish journalist and dramatist.

Bound in full deep blue cloth. Externally, smart with light shelf wear and rubbing to the extremities. Minor loss to the head of the spine and the odd mark to the board. Internally, firmly bound.
