Dealer Notes
SEVENTH EDITION 'with an appendix' but remarkably similar in content to the sixth printing of 1731. Despite the popularity of this comprehensively well-illustrated title, it si hard to find an early edition in good complete original state. This rather good copy bears the ownership of B Bradley of Alton and later bookplate of Sir John Wormald.
