| Summary: | Niall Kenny description: Seems to be very uncommon, not in Dingley, Perkins (2nd Ed. only), RVC or RCVS. The index has an odd pagination but this is identical with the copy in the BL. The plate is the teeth plate found with many of the later Burdon printings, not surprising considering the plate has a Crosby imprint "Published by B. Crosby, & Co. Stationers Court, 1805". Oddly the first edition of Rothamsted collection says this book should have 11 preliminary pages but that doesn't make any sense with respect to the other collections. The total number of plates in this book is uncertain as no on-line resources make it clear, but my copy was exactly the same as the BL copy. Pagination error: p 13 as '31'; BL copy in original printed wrappers. Preface signed "June 1, 1807." Printer's imprint: "J. G. Barnard, Printer, 57, Snow-Hill.", at the bottom of the title page. This is John George Barnard. |
