3 volumes in 1. Large 8vo (in 4s), pp. 234, 5 full-page engraved plates (? ex 6), no divisional title-pages only drop titles, contemporary calf; hole in inner margin of title-page and following leaf not affecting text, covers detached, binding worn with some leather missing. From the library of the early American patriot and secretary of the Ohio company, Winthrop Sargent (1753 - 1820), with his autograph on the title-page and his amusing armorial bookplate on the front paste-down end-paper. The translation by Charles Dennis and Robert Lloyd first appeared in 1764. ESTC locates only the copy at the BL, but it was, of course, volume 6 of Harrison's The Novelists Magazine, of which this is probably a reprint. Seller Inventory # 4519
