The covers are plain. The spine is elaborately decorated and divided into six sections by raised ribs. The second and third sections from the  top are a deep reddish brown colour and bear the words in gold, Addison’s Works, surrounded by a simple gold pattern and the volume number in Roman numeral.
A label on the inside cover of two of the four volumes bears a coat of arms as described,
A shield form at the top centre of which is a five- point crown, including a diamond shape and sitting on what appears to be ermine. Within this shield is another with a smaller crown from which a serpent rises and on either side are lions standing on hind legs, each wearing a crown and holding different shield-like coats of arms, with Latin inscriptions. The lions stand on a ribbon with the inscription ne cede mali. Below is printed in script Countess of Albermarle and above written in ink is the signature Philippa Sidney. This label appears to have been removed from two volumes but the signature remains intact.
