London:  His Majesty's Stationery Office. Part of a trove of like materials sent from the offices of Sir Gilbert Parker to one H.H. Piatt in Kansas City. Each more than 8" X 12" small folio then tri-folded. All have rusted staples which hold the large pamphlet together, many are soiled and have been wet. Disregarding the rusted staples, THE PAPER QUALITY ranges in condition from good minus to very good minus. However, these should still be considered an "academics" reference dream; not fine condition museum pieces.
