Original brown leather spines and corners with green title labels on the spines with gilt titling and the publisher's device on the upper boards. This is a facsimile of the 1887 edition published by J. C. Juta. The first volume has xviii prelims, 440 pages, a frontis portrait and a folding map.

The browning on one of the folding maps is minor by comparison.
