Woodcut initials, head-pieces and tail-pieces, illustration to p.(xvi). Occasional underlining in sepia ink. A a little loss to lower fore-edge corner of F1 not affecting text, a few tiny spots, faint dampstain to tail margin affecting pp.219-239. Contemporary vellum, brown morocco gilt label to spine, fore-edges slightly overlapped, edges sprinkled blue. Vellum a little greyed with some slight marks, top edge darkened, a few pencilled notes and codes to endpapers, very good indeed. Armorial bookplate of Sir Charles Mordaunt, Baronet, of Walton, Warwickshire to ffep. The 6th Baronet (c.1697-1778) seems the most likely candidate, based on the style of bookplate and the incorporated crest of Conyers (he married Dorothy Conyers of Walthamstow in 1720). Mordaunt was a landowner and Tory politician who held his seat in the House of Commons for 40 years from 1734 to 1774. Second reimpression of the first Elzevir edition (also published 1634). Admired by Dibdin as 'a beautiful little volume'. Willems 412, Dibdin (4th edn) II 384. Ref: 55089show full image..
