Four volumes (of five, all published) bound as one. 74; 64, [18]; 76, [6]; [2], 76pp, [8]. Title pages engraved. With a folding table to Vol. IV. Contemporary gilt-tooled half- calf, marbled paper boards, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Worn, upper board detached, lower joint split. Without free-endpapers, terminal leaf of Vol. IV working loose. The initial four volumes of an annual compilation of original riddles, word games, puzzles, and suggestions for charades.

In one case of these publications, in particular, we have detected no fewer than three instances of this plagiarism; which are palmed upon the public, under fictitious signatures, as original productions'. ESTC records copies (the majority imperfect and/or defective) at just two locations in the British Isles (BL and NT), and three further in North America (Chicago, Princeton, and Yale). ESTC P6005.
