With the odd further ink annotation throughout the work, most concentrated between pages 35 and 40.A very scarce work, with only three records of printed copies, with the British Library, Wellcome Collection and Bristol University library each holding this work. In a half calf binding, with marbled paper covered boards. Light rubbing to back strip head, otherwise externally excellent. Front hinge a touch strained, but firmly held. Internally, firmly bound.
