Octavo. [7.00’’ tall x 4.00’’ wide]. A very rare early provincial imprint, printed in Egham, Surrey by C. Boult, who is noted as the first printer in Egham. An interesting copy, with a presentation to Richard Edgell Wyatt [d. 1795], of Milton Place, Egham. A well known art collector, with a large collection that was dispersed at auction when he died intestate. A very rare work, probably printed in miniscule numbers. No record of any other copies located online. Manuscript to the front end paper ‘R.d. Wyatt, from the author, to him, much is due for his excellent instructions.’ Edward William Whitaker [1752–1818]. Divine, historian, and philanthropist, son of William Whitaker of London, serjeant-at-law, born in 1752, was matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, 2 April 1773, and graduated B.A. 4 Feb. 1777.
