About This Item
London: Printed for H. Pemberton, at the Golden-Buck, against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet Street, 1747. 13th edition, 1747. Hardback. 8vo. [xx], 366, xiv pp. Folding engraved bills of fare at rear. Engraved frontis. Contemporary leather binding with modern rebacking. Book in fair+ condition. Rebacked in calf, conserving original spine. Boards generally rubbed and some wear. Text block sound but with the following faults: Marginal loss to upper corner of A3. H1 only upper third remains, some loss to upper corner of P2 extending very slightly beyond the margin, marginal hole to P7 (where page number printed), S7 torn diagonally across lower corner resulting in loss of approx one third of the page, small marginal loss to U3, minor worm damage U4 onwards. Of the fold-out plates, the first has only the first third remaining, the second is complete but has tears which have been professionally repaired, the third is like the first and the remaining three have been excised completely leaving a stub behind. A pleasingly unsophisticated copy. <br />
