About This Item
damaged copy in old full calf, much worn, spine label illegible, lacks endpapers and title page, portion at top of the contents page torn off, text otherwise complete, reasonably clean and tight, with one folding diagram, 298 pages, some original owner inscriptions on inside covers and last page of index, owner's name and address at start of first chapter. Rare. I think this is likely the first Irish printing of 1773, given the owner's Dublin address. Google books reproduces the second London edition of 1778, which is enlarged to 336 pages, and with an appendix, which is not mentioned in this copy.. First Edition. Full-Leather. Fair/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
