About this Item

Second Edition with Additions and Corrections, published in the same year as the First Edition. Two additional volumes were published in 1789. The covers are really nice rull leather, and the volumes have been attractively rebacked with new leather with new title and volume slips. The two volumes contain the three hand colored plates, the two engraved title pages, and the folding genealogical plate. Some outer coerner wear, some offset from illustrations, some slight foxing on initial and ending leaves. Very Good Plus. A nice set.
