Description: London, Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme [and others]. 1804, First Edition. Quarter Morocco. 130mm 225mm tall (5" x 8.75" approx.). Pp [xiv], 64 (text0 + 260 (tables) all as called for. Contemporary signature of one Josh. Bradley to blank head of title-page and that of Edward Bradley, dated 31st December 1874 to a blank leaf preceeding the title-leaf, with the latter's heraldic bookplate preserved on the front pastedown. The table leaves have been neatly numbered by an early owner [probably Bradley] in an upper blank, in continuation and following the sequence on from the final page of the text section up to page 116 of the tables, which has thus been numbered 180, where it was discontinued. The leaves are evenly slightly toned throughout, the whole being otherwise very good and stylishy presented in a modern binding of quarter black morocco, with five raised bands, and black & white marbled paper-covered boards. Very Good.
