The book was part of David Bryce's personal collection and is accompanied by a silver box measuring 4.5 x 6.5 cm. with the inscription "David Bryce / Jedburgh" on the top lid. The book was later owned by Bryce's grand-daughter and then by Louis W. Bondy (1910-1993), the author of the classic one-volume reference source entitled: Miniature Books: their History from the Beginnings to the Present Day.
The text is printed upon the thinnest white tissure paper and it is bound in gold and purple grapevine patterned stiff paper. On the front board a curlicue-patterned paper is pasted on, at the centre of which is the title. The same pattern is repeated on two separate pasted papers on the spine.
