(75 x 47mm), pp. [ii], 158; 186, [iv]; 128; 79, [I] + the rest of the text block made up with a roughly equal number of binder's blank leaves. Title-page to each volume, additional series title to volume I. Vol. I without its final blank, vol. II with both final blanks. First words of title transliterated from Greek. Occasional spotting and light toning, a few faint stains, very good. Early c.20th dark blue crushed Morocco, gilt titles to spines, top edges gilt, ornate gilt dentelles. Spines a little sunned, lightly rubbed, very good indeed. First words of title transliterated from Greek. Though he doesn't comment directly on this edition, Dibdin notes Harwood's observation on the first Foulis edition of 1744, that he has 'read this edition twice through and affirm it to be one of the most accurate of the Glasgow editions of the Greek classics.' He also notes that the later edition of 1770 is less accurate, according to Harles. ESTC T134377; Gaskell 274; Dibdin II. 4th Edn. 290; Bondy 23-4; Mikrobiblion 192; Spielmann 413-5.
