Description
Quarto Victorian half pebbled cloth (tips worn) 71pp last page with hole affecting a few words filled in in ink. After the last printed verse two lines added in manuscript from Shakespeare. TP with name, number and a short sum and also somewhat browned, the next page poorly centered thus seems to be missing a line of Pindar quote at end of the preface. Introduction has signature & catchword cut off. Page 4 has an ink marginal bracket added. A few more catchwords are cut in half and one page has no fore-edge with a few letters actually affected by the foredge although all letters are 80% complete. 2 leaves were printed skew on the page and thus text not parallel - this causes gutter to obsure some beginnings of words and on the other side a few letters to be lost from outer margin. *With these faults which were mostly due to the haste of the printing it is quite a scarce work in this First edition. There must have been some doubt about its reception as the publisher wished to remain as anonymous as the author.
