London: At the Minerva Press for J, Murray… and William Lane, 1791. [4], 174 pages. Illustrated with a folding engraved frontispiece, and 3 other engraved plates. Original boards crudely re-backed with sheep. Octavo. First edition. This is a rather sad copy. The corners have been trimmed, presumably where once turned down; there is soiling throughout; one of the plates has a piece missing from the blank outer margin; the frontispiece is splitting along one fold, and has been crudely re-attached to the title. A complete, but poor copy, of a rare book.
