Sobre este artículo
Glasgow: Printed by R. Urie, 1752. 8vo, 200 x 117 mms., pp. [ii] iii - viii, 9 - 214 [215 - 216 Contents], contemporary sheepskin, raised bands between gilt rules on spine, red leather label (slightly chipped), title-page and end-papers slightly soiled, but generally a very good copy with the contemporary decorative bookplate of John Hervey on the front paste-down end-paper and the 20th century bookplate, dated 1938, of Henrici Galbraith Miller just beneath. This was Urie's only printing of the works of Bacon. It is not especially rare, with ESTC T119860 locating 5 copies in these islands and 6 in north America
