First edition. 8vo. Paginated irregularly as usual (though slightly differently from ESTC), viz: pp [16], 144, 353-399, [1], 399-413, [1] ff 409-416, 421-468, 467-513, [1], 541-684, [10]. Initial blank present, as are the advert leaves to the rear. Contemporary calf, recent reback, contrasting label. Bookplate of George Wilbraham, with the motto In Portu Quies. Early purchase note to front pastedown, signature of George Wilbraham to verso of front blank. Slightly browned throughout, but a good example overall (please see photos), complete including first blank.
