Book Description

‘Miscellaneous Tracts Relating To Natural History, Husbandry, And Physick’ ~ Translated from the Latin, with Notes. By Benj. Stillingfleet; pub by R & J Dodsley, London 1759. 1st Edition. Faded green paper covers, (look like this could have been a proof copy?), semi disintegrated on the spine; 8vo, xxxii pps + 230 pps - last page notes ‘The End’. There is a Contents page on xxxi; no Illustrations are noted and none are in the book. NB - all pps have been collated and are intact. Paper is quite a heavy type, uncut on side & bottom edges; it is quite heavy and seems to be a bit coarse? There is spasmodic foxing through book ; many corner pps are turned up, especially the bottom corners; book is in a slight scruffy state, although all pps are easily readable. I have not been able to find a 1st Edition copy dated 1759 for sale or available on Google or other book sites that sell books, so assume that this a very scarce copy of this book - please correct me if I’m wrong.
