About This Item
London: printed for John Wilcox, 1739. First edition, 12mo, pp. xii, 88; 5 engraved folding plates of diagrams; contemporary parchment-backed marbled boards, manuscript titling on spine; very good and sound. With the South Library bookplate, Earls of Macclesfield, and 3 small Macclesfield pressure stamps in the preliminaries. In a new maroon cloth clamshell box. This is, apparently, the first of two issues, without the canceled title page. Both are very rare, ESTC locating only one copy of each, at the Bodleian and the British Library respectively. OCLC adds LC, Berkeley, and University of Leiden.
