Book Description
London: Printed for the Booksellers throughout the World. 1835. "From the 100th edition." 24mo. Printed papercovered boards. Frontispiece woodcut (repeated on the rear board). Marginal edgewear, but a remarkable survivor in this fragile format, and at least very good. The woodcut is wonderful. Originally published in 1695, and often reprinted, although "the 100th edition" seems a little optimistic. No copies of this edition (or potentially about ninety other editions, if the printer can be believed) listed in OCLC. .
