Bosvile 3rd edition corrected 1700 . 8vo contemporary dark tan sprinkled leather with gilt red spine title label gilt dentelles [edges worn/hinges cracked but covers held by all cords] Titlepage +A2-8 [=Preface + Contents +Addenda/Advert.] +240pp The first six leaves with marginal worming affecting only the running headline of the preface and repaired with reversible transparent PAPER-tape.The last gathering with worm-holes to fore-edge margin have similar worming but have not been repaired as they are less obtrusive. There is some foxing or browning throughout with approx eight charming pointer-hands in the margins and about six marginal notes all by one owner in a near contemporary script.
