| Summary: | Niall Kenny description: [i] title, [ii] blank, [iii]-[iv] dedication, v-x preface, [11]-70 text, F6r-v index. Very scarce; the '2nd edition' is assumed on the number of pages, which gradually increased from this point on; however a dated edition of 1732, printed in Edinburgh, is recorded (collating: viii, 44, 6 p.). However another printing, claiming to be the 2nd edition, was printed in 1742, and having compared this to the true first edition it is clearly absolutely identical, and must have been printed as part of the original print run of the 1st edition with a cancel title page and plate added. In addition this 1742 printing states that it has the addition of the Smithfield Jockey, which is at the end with a separate title page. This later part is a reprinting of the original 1675 edition. |
