Large quarto (7-1/2" x 11") bound in full early paneled calf leather with a gilt-lettered red morocco spine label; [xvi], 702, [10], [4], I-[225], [9] pages. Complete but for the additional engraved general title page, with engraved portrait frontispiece and engraved title page to the second part: which is titled A GEOGRAPHICALL DESCRIPTION OF ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE KNOWN WORLD. Together with The Greatest Rivers, the Strangest Fountaines, the various Minerals, Stones, Trees, Hearbs, Plants, fruit, Gums &c which are to bee found in every Country. Unto which is added a Description of The rarest Beasts Fowls, Birds, Fishes, and Serpents which are least known amongst us. Collected out of the most approved Authors, and from such as were eye-witnesses of most of the things contained herein. This second part includes a section describing America and sections on Panthers, Strange Beasts, Crocodiles, Zebra, Elephants, Dodos, Serpents, Herbs, Plants, Trees, fishing for Pearls, Indians in America, Barbarous Cruelty, Fountains, Strange Fish, Inventions, Printers, Guns, Asia, Tower of Babylon, Bagdat, Syria, Persia, Arabia, Tartary, Japan, Borneo, Indostan, Africa, Egypt, Europe, Isle Man, Russia, Mexico, Peru, etc. Bookplate on front pastedown has viscount coronet and monogram "W. G." Contemporary ownership signature ("P. Glenurchye Empr. Lond. 1659"), and name (Patrick Campbell) and ownership inscription of Irvine Masson ("bt. fr. John Grant, Edinburgh, 1926") on front endpaper. A tipped-in note on the front pastedown gives further details of Samuel Clarke and the engraved portrait, and thoughts on the earlier provenance which suggests a possible Patrick Campbell on the line of Viscounts Glenorchy. The bookplate with initial W. G. could possibly be that of Willielma Campbell, Viscountess Glenorchy (1741-1786?). Lacking additional engraved general title, minor edge repairs to portrait, some toning to text with occasional foxing and crease; chip to front edge of spine and inner edge of front board, minor edgewear. Very Good.
