Folding "examination sheet" at the end of each number [uncompleted in all cases] (some light mainly marginal spotting and staining). Attractively bound in contemporary red crushed morocco gilt by Zaehnsdorf, with the binder's slip inserted at the front in addition to the binder's name stamped in gilt on the lower front dentelle [as usual], the covers with triple gilt ruled borders, the spine gilt with 5 raised bands, top edges gilt, others uncut (extremities rubbed), original printed grey wrappers bound in with each number. Provenance: "Presented by 'The Daily News' to L. G. Chiozza Money Esq., M.P." (presentation inscription stamped in gilt on the upper cover). Sir Leo George Chiozza Money (1870-1944) was an Italian-born British "New Liberal" economist and presumably - along with Prime Minister Asquith, Robert Baden-Powell, Rider Haggard and Jerome K. Jerome - a follower of the system of 'brain training', taught mainly through correspondence, known as 'Pelmanism'. Money was Lloyd George's Permanent Private Secretary and a Government Minister during the First World War. He was knighted in 1915, despite the fact that his life was dogged by repeated accusations of "indecency".
