About this Item

First edition, 8vo, pp. [20], 304; uncut; later blue paper-covered boards, cream paper shelfback; old circulating library rules pasted to front pastedown; very good and sound, the textblock about fine. Early ownership signature of "Edm. Laycock" on front free endpaper. The rebinding is clearly later, possibly 20th century, even though the circulating library rules, which shows evidence of its being reapplied, appears to be mid-19th century. This appears to be the only work of the Rev. John Werge, a curate of Stamford, Lincolnshire, and it includes a 15-page list of subscribers. Seller Inventory # 67146
