Page 249 faces plate 19 and is stained where the damage was repaired but is still well readable. Plates are numbered from 1 to 68 but there is no number 52 and the contents list also omits any number 52 but the pagination & signatures follow through without a gap. The title has an ownership partly crossed through and a bookplate seems to have been removed from the pastedown.Some 8 leaves at the front have some marginal small wormholes and a corner is torn off page 339/340 just affecting 2 letters of the bottom line on each side. Usual foxing but also a few gatherings browned and two plates with ink marks.Chetham's Library says the plates are after Alciatus and also confirms that the number 52 is omitted.
