MEMORANDA MNEMONICA: A Help to the Remembrance of Numbers, Historical Events, and Subjects Generally

xiii+400, unopened after p.89; previous owners lib.label to front pastedown, 1959-dated small sig. of 'Amary Kirkus' (?) verso front endpaper, otherwise internally clean, tight and unmarked; covers clean and unworn bar very tiny nicks to top spine, but 2-3 cms wide strips of fading/pigment loss down fore-edges very slightly affecting endpaper and pastedown borders, very faint nearly erased pencil inscription verso t.p. says 'Kirkus repaired label', this is odd because spine simply has gilt title and author name at top and appears as issued though no pub.imprint, cloth continuous so no relaying of spine etc. apparent. Primarily offers Bibllical, Greek and Roman History, English History, and Biographical mnemonics plus 'Memoranda Varia'. Uncommon. Author was Vicar of Elstow in Bedfordshire where John Bunyan was worn, but I made little progress in understanding his menomenic system.
