Summary
Bibliographic description
3 pts. in 1 v. (16, [20], 296; [4], 276; [4], 247, [1] p.) ; 8vo. Running number: 7774. Errata leaves bound following half-title in each part, signatures thus: *8 **8 chi2 A-S8 T4, ²chi2 A[dagger]-R[dagger]8 S[dagger]2, ³chi2 A[double dagger]-P[double dagger]8 Q[double dagger]4. Provenance: copy possibly used by Robert Trevor (1706-1783) who acted as agent and bought books at the auction of the Uilenbroek library in 1741 on behalf of his cousin Sir Richard Ellys (1682-1742). The diplomat Robert Trevor, later 1st Viscount Hampden, was resident in The Hague where he was secretary at the embassy (1734-1739), Envoy Extraordinary (1739-1741), and Minister Plenipotentiary (1741). Some lot numbers annotated in black ink in the inner margin with the price (presumably in Dutch gulden and stuivers) Sir Richard Ellys paid for them, and some of these have an additional price (in English pounds, shillings and pence?) in pencil; some lots annotated with pencil crosses and marks but with no prices (possibly lots Ellys was interested in but was unsucessful in buying). Nineteenth-century former shelfmarks in pencil on verso of front free endpaper: "23.F.28" (crossed-out) and "21.E.15.16.17. bound in this vol.". Binding: nineteenth-century full calf; triple gilt fillet border; gilt roll pattern along board edges; gilt title on olive green morocco label, gilt date and fillets on spine. Red sprinkled textblock edges. Nonpareil pattern marbled endpapers.
