Details

8vo., pp. 622 [98]. Browning, very light waterstaining, holes in blank at end of index, spotting caused by reading close to a flame (one actual burnhole, in blank). 8th fol. in a number of gatherings with worming in bottom outer corner (blank) - as this is not found on other leaves of the gatherings, it must have been done before binding, when the book was lying in sheets. Still a fair to good copy, bound in a strong contemporary binding of stiffened vellum (small tear to bottom outer corner of lower cover but good), title inked vertically on spine, with remains of an early paper label on which title is inked horizontally. Edges mottled red.
