First edition. Folio (29 x 18.5cm). 'A substantial work. Despite it's haphazard arrangement, Philipot was clearly aiming at the sort of county history that Hasted eventually published.

Without the 4pp. 'second table of addenda or omissions', which is frequently lacking, the prelims varying from copy to copy, presumably as a point of issue.

Three prelim leaves & first two text leaves with very slight loss to outer-margins, nowhere near the text, map with a few small holes, but fairly unobtrusive and pretty much restricted to blank areas, occasional marks to the text, but a sound copy in contemporary calf, rebacked, gilt, new endpapers.
