Dealer: Abebooks, Riverby Books
Description: [publisher: London. Printed for W. Feales at Rowe's Head, etc., etc] Hardcover Hardcover, 135 pages. Bound with leather spine and marbled paper over boards. Early boards, perhaps the original ones, but the endpapers and leather are not original. They appear to be from early in the last century. Book is housed in a custom case, with title stamped on the front in gold. Engraved frontispiece. Title page printed in red and gold. Pages are good and clean. Binding is tight. There is a bookplate tucked inside the front cover with the name Caroli Garrett on it, and the dates 1674-1748. I suspect that this bookplate was on the inside of the original board & that the binder saved it when the book was rebound. Email for photos. [Fredericksburg, VA, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 1720]
