83 rough cut pages, including eight of advertisements. The hinge opposite the title page appears as though a page has been removed. It hasn't. The hinge was too tightly glued and a previous owner opened it out with very minor damage to the head. The head and tail of the spine is bumped and the gilt print on the front board faded; and there is a neat ownership inscription on the front end paper. Despite its faults it remains a nice copy - clean, unmarked and solid. "Adelaide was the daughter of Alexander Primrose and his wife Alice (Small). She married L J F Gatzemeyer, quarantine doctor, who lived at Norwood SA for many years. She conducted columns in the South Australian Chronicle and the Saturday Express, and was well-known both as a verse- and song-writer, and as an artist." (Aust Lit web page)
