About This Item
London: Printed for Richard Phillips, NO. 6, Bridge-Street, Blackfriars, 1806 [1799]. Fifth Edition. Hardcover. Fair/Good. Lacking covers, leather backing worn, text block is tight. Retains the original end pages, and the text is complete. Age toning varies, but mostly light, with some offset from the copper engravings. Unmarked. Wonderfully illustrated, totaling 50, in copperplate engravings, printed on heavy paper, printed on both sides, unnumbered, with printing on both sides, and unnumbered, plus the frontispiece. A very nice copy notwithstanding the covers lacking, and deserves rebinding. 4 1/4 X 7 inches. xvi, 329 [1], plus 14 pages of advertisements. Scarce title.
