Notes

A scarce set, dated to 1805 by the BL, one of three holdings listed in COPAC. In original boards bearing some signs of a slightly troubled production: the first volume duplicates a misnumbered introductory section from the third, while the second volume has a title page designating it as from the second edition in 2 volumes from 1794; the other 2 title pages are undated cancels, of 'a new edition, corrected.'
