Summary
Bibliographic description
2 v. : ill., plans ; fol. Running number: 7317. 2 v. in 1. Imperfect: wanting frontispiece/half-title (as are most copies). Provenance: manuscript former shelfmark (nineteenth-century) in pencil: 33.A.20. Manuscript inscription on front fly-leaf: "M. 2. Vol. in one" [i.e. catalogue code and collation note, written by John Mitchell (ca. 1685-1751), librarian to Sir Richard Ellys (1682-1742)]; with Mitchell's manuscript code at foot of leaf: "Δ'." [i.e. Delta = Greek number]. List of subscribers includes 'Sir John Hobart', i.e. Sir John Hobart (1693-1756), later 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire, but this does not appear to be his copy as it was certainly Richard Ellys's. Binding: eighteenth-century full gold-tooled sprinkled calf; sewn on four supports with seven raised bands; gilt border of fillets and floral roll patterns, with gilt crown cornerpiece stamps; gilt roll pattern along board edges; gold-tooled spine; gilt title on brown goatskin label on spine. Red sprinkled textblock edges.
