About this Item

Title page missing so no publication details but large frontis engraving of King George I dated 1718, apparent 3rd edition, seems identical to 1150 page Tonson edition pub 1720, also the two engravings missing. Considerable scuffing and rubbing to heavy half bound contemporary boards, material on spine missing, cracked hinges but binding remains otherwise firm due to heavy threads, marbled end papers, pastedowns peeling, edges tanned, worming and resultant flaking on lower right hand corner running through the book though for the most part the text is readable and not obscured, top corners in latter section of book bumped (perhaps due to water damage) so page numbers and marginalia of that section illegible, text block otherwise clean save for the odd spot or instance of toning, toning to end papers including engraving of King George, last page of index torn and edges missing interfering with text. Has damp musty odour. Heavy book will require extra postage. Dispatched form the UK same or next working day.
