| Item Description: | This work has been wrongly attributed to Adolphus Speed. Date of publication from ESTC. Niall Kenny, bookseller, description: Rare. Most surviving copies seem to have no plate, and my first copy was in completely original binding and clearly had no sign of ever having a plate. However the Rothamsted copy does have the plate, so we can assume it should be present, and a dated copy of a Norris printing in BL, of 1717, does have the plate. Norris moved to the London Bridge address in 1711. The plates measure 17 x 20.5 cm unfolded. Collation: 160, [8] p., [1] leaf of folding plates; A12-G12; 14.5 x 8.5 cm (12mo). Description: Plate: folding frontispiece, [1] title, [2] blank, [3]-[4] preface, 5-160 text, G9r-G12v contents |
