Description: Aldergate, London: James Young, for O. P. And are to be Sold By John Saywell, 1653. 1st, 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Full-Leather. Originally published in Latin, this is the English translation. Pp.[1] blank, title page, [8] "The Preface to the Reader", [3] "Clarissimo.", [20] "A Table of the Principal Things as are contained in these Five following discourses", 211, [2] advertising for additional titles sold by Saywell, [1} blank, size about 3 1/2" X 6", very old full-leather binding, possibly original? There are no fixed front nor rear endpapers. The front free endppaper is lacking an inch across the top and has a few small holes lower down. The title page is nicely preserved with a couple of tiny holes near the bottom obscuring 3 or 4 letters in the printing information. Overall the printed text is quite clean and very readable, with occasional spotting. Pp. 125-126 has a significant tear with old cello-tape repair, but is complete. Quite a decent copy in original un-restored condition. Only 18 copies found in WorldCat. Good.
