Dark brown endpapers and pastedowns. Binder's ticket on lower pastedown: '\| BOUND BY \| BONE & SON. \| [rule] \| 76 FLEET STREET \| LONDON. \|' Brown morocco vertical-grain cloth. Both covers identically blocked in blind and in relief on the borders, the corners, and on the sides. A single fillet is blocked on the borders in blind. On the corners, the sides, and on the head and the tail, a pattern of curling stems, leaves and buds is blocked in relief. The outer block encloses a central frame of three circles, one large, two small. The upper cover has a central vignette blocked in gold. It shows a tracery of crossed stems and pointed leaves - all blocked in gold. On the perimeter of each circle, two on each of the smaller circles, four on the larger, flattened trefoils are blocked in relief within gold lettering-pieces. These trefoils' end in three berries blocked in gold. On the centre, the words: ` \| Sabbath \| Bells. \|' are blocked in gold, in fanciful letters.
