D. for Richard Marriot, and are to be sold by William Sheares, at the sign of the Bible in St. Paul's Churchyard, 1652. Re-bound - probably in the mid-nineteenth century - with new endpapers - nothing original before the title page. Several woodcut heads and tail pieces. Some general toning and spotting to the pages with some dust and finger soiling throughout but never particularly heavy. Re-bound in around about the middle of the nineteenth century with a gilt embossed burgundy title block to the spine and 5 gilt embossed decorative vignettes. Green marbled boards - with matching endpapers. The leather now fed with a preservative dressing. Over all a very good copy of a scarce early edition.
