Five pamphlets, extracted as a unit from a larger volume with remnants of the earlier binding on the spine; ink numeral to the title-pages; light spotting and wear to the first title-page, bumping to the bottom corner of the first several leaves; otherwise quite clean and sound, securely bound. A penciled note on the front flyleaf suggests: "Probably collected by Rev. Hugh Pearson (1817-82) canon of Windsor."
