About this Item

Three parts bound in one volume. First illustrated edition, earliest issue with all titlepages dated 1709 and no mention of the "illustrations." 8vo., full contemporary calf, this copy has been professionally rebacked with the spine laid down, the upper board has been replaced in calf and style after the period, (probably done in the late 19th century), (18) 1-198; (1)-167, (168 blank), (1)-207 (ie. 226). With nineteen illustrations. Some scattered light foxing, rebacked with upper board replaced (noted above), some rubbing and light wear, but certainly a very good copy of this uncommon issue. B1 in Part 1 appears to be a cancel, between two stubs, the catchword on A8 corresponds to the first word in the second line on B1. This corresponded to three other copies that we checked.
