Furniture: NoneEnclosure: NoneBinding Notes: 19th century bookplate of the Earl of Morley inside left board. This is a curious binding, as the re-used boards and the thick russia calf have resulted in rounded adges to the boards. The same thing seems to have happened to vol 1 (1681), but vol 3, a supplement, (1753) has first-use boards.
