"[This] is a fine specimen of modern bookwork: the two quarto volumes are well printed on thick paper, the pages are sewn and firmly anchored and the text block is sandwiched between heavy boards. If it is not abused, this set should last a hundred years. It is written in plain English and easy to use."---John Kendall, Reference Reviews
