| Item Description: | Preface signed G.L. Niall Kenny, bookseller, description: Collation: [20], 196 p., illust.; A12-I12; 15 x 9 cm (12mo); Description: A1r title, A1v blank, A2r-A3v preface, A4r poem, A4v-A10v contents, 1-196 text. The BL copy has no plate and is missing page 145/146, which is the whole page woodcut. All surviving copies seem to lack any plate (certainly my copy, Dingley, National Library of New Zealand, NLW and MSU copies), so it is possible it was never issued with one. Pagination error: 116 given as ‘16’; 155 as ‘145’. This is a worn copy, in original full sheep, of a rare title. The item is complete, however the spine is missing, and the binding is slightly loose as a consequence, and a number of gatherings have some worm damage. The price reflects this, but there are only five recorded copies of the item (only one in the USA), and I know the copy in the British Library is missing pages. |
