Sobre este artículo
London: Printed and Sold by T. Read..., 1739. 8vo, 223 x 150 mms., pp. [ii], 70, 19th century quarter morocco, reddish boards (rubbed); ex-library, with a circular ownership stamp of Chas. W. Banks, San Francisco, May 21 1876 on the title-page, and the bookplate of the Ferniehield Library on the front paste-down end-paper; spine worn with joints slightly cracked, newspaper clippings removed from front free end-paper. This is not, of course, the original edition, but a 19th century facsimile; a watermark - "Michallet" is distinguishable in the lower margins of B3, C3, and D4; vertical chains are also visible, but the book is unlikely to have been printed on laid paper. This is possibly the facsimile printed by John Camden Hotten in 1862.
