![FREE domestic shipping with direct order. **London: W. & J. Innys, 1718.12 folding engraved plates. Blank & 4 leaves ("Corrigenda" on the final one), pp. 1-382, and one leaf of ads. The name William Hindmon is written on the initial blank. The leaves measure 19.1 x 11.5 cm. Plate I has a professional repair where a trapezoidal piece roughly 3 x 3 cm had been torn off the upper corner with loss of the bracketed text: "Book I. Part I. Pl[ate I]" and "Fig [2]." Plate IV is trimmed too closely at the top, with the loss of the upper part of the title; Plate V is trimmed closely, but with no loss of text. Book I, Part II, Plate III is similar. Book III, Plate I follows p. 82. It had been misfolded, so that the paper was creased along the front edge. A professonial repair has been made to a diagonal tear 3.7 cm long at the top end of the fold, plus a tear of 2 cm along the bottom of the fold with a very small loss of paper, now filled in. On p. 301 there is a very small burned hole, as though someone had decided to test the theory of the burning glass; a couple of other similar marks did not go through the paper. Occasional age toning, plus intermittent foxing and a few small stains. The contemporary calf was rebound some long time ago. Before that, it looks as though an owner used tape to keep the loose spine in place. On the rear cover there are only dark patches; on the front cover the tape lifted a few small pieces of surface; the backstrip shows considerable old skinning. The covers are blind-tooled. From the library of Jacob Bronowski. Altogether, a nicer copy than this description suggests.](/mcgilvery/images/items/120x500/92251.jpg "FREE domestic shipping with direct order. **London: W. & J.
