M. Clark for Samuel Mearne, in Little Britain, John Martyn, in St. Paul’s Church-yard, and Henry Herringman, in the New Exchange, London, 1680; 12mo; blank flyleaf, title page, A1-7, 1-222, 3 pg. index, Q1-9, blank, 1-28, blank, title page, I-X, 1-110, blank, 2 pg. index, page 111. The 1680 edition, containing three additional essays: "A Fragment Of An Essay On Fame," "A Civic Character Of Julius Cesar," and "A Civic Character Of Augustus Cesar," thus increasing the total number to sixty-one, plus the two titled works "Of The Colours Of Good & Evil," and "The Wisdom Of The Antients" (Sir Arthur Gorges translation). Attractive British armorial binding, finely rebacked by Rene Patron of Hollywood, California in brown calf with genuine raised bands, morocco label, and gilt spine titles. Quill & ink inscription on front pastedown: "The gift of Clement Watson of New Zealand, ‘81." Engraved armorial bookplate on rear pastedown (on a mount a palm tree, fess in chief, crosses botonnée), with device reading "Jabez Watson, e Coll: Magd. Cantab." Jabez Watson (b. 1823 ), son of Benjamin Watson, Esq. of Wakefield in Yorkshire, attended Magdalene College, Cambridge, taking his B.A. in 1848 and receiving ordination as a deacon the same year. Upon earning his M.A. in 1851 he became an Anglican priest, and was Curate of St. Veep in Cornwall from 1853 to 1857 before converting to Catholicism. Palm tree crest impressed in gilt at center of front board. Name "Watson," written on the top and bottom page block edges. Crisp and bright, paper supple, binding absolutely tight and square, text with some scattered minor staining in the blank margins, edge chip in the blank margin of page 205, not intruding upon the text. An original binding error has the last leaf of "Wisdom Of The Antients" (pg.111) bound in after the index. A solid and desirable copy.
