When land is gone and money spent learning is the most excellent." There is a diagram on the front pastedown, a few doodles but mainly repeated names to imprimatur leaf, one ink spot (.5mm) to TP & faint, neat copperplate name on back of TP & name on margin of contents page, no other writing or ink in the book until the last page where by Finis there are initials and a name & date.
