    Features a gilt 'Christ's Hospital' motif to front board, and gilt tooled decoration to the ribbed spine, as well as charming vignette illustrations throughout.

    Contains a bookplate to the front pastedown, awarding this copy to a T. H. Evans 'for Arithmetic and Science' in July 1905. Awarded by the Governor's of Christ's Hospital London, one of the oldest boarding schools in the country, of which Samuel Pepys was once a governor.

    Decorated with marbled page edges and endpapers.
