Condition: Very Good. [16], 128p 127-163p, [1], [8], 48p, [2]. Contemporary full calf. Boards professionally reattached. Dibdin p424 is unusually brief in his commentary with only the following phrase: "Printed by Buck. This edition is scarce and excellent". Needless to say, considering the shortness of his bibliographical descr…iption, one is left to ponder the rest. Ebert #21697 "A very scarce edition even in England, and said to be not without merit". The leather on the spine is a little cracked, but otherwise fine. Internally a fresh clean copy.
