This copy featuring the engraved plate, and from library of Sir Alexander Campbell, 2nd Earl of Marchmont: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hume-Campbell,_2nd_Earl_of_Marchmont

Rare second edition with few located online, especially rare in this condition.

2 blank leaves + 1 leaf title + 3 leaves (6 pages) 'Preface' + 393 pages (pages 1-16 not numbered) + 7 pages of Adverts for Hen. (Henry) Rhodes + 2 blank leaves. Complete.

Condition is very good. Nicely re-backed at some point with the original calf boards, showing some wear to edges. Internally near fine with some light and sporadic foxing and toning, a small stain to the hinge side edge of the title. Otherwise a very clean and complete copy of a very rare and interesting work.
