About This Item
London: Printed for John Stockdale..., 1798. 8vo, pp. viii, [3], 12 - 115 [116 - 120 adverts], engraved frontispiece (by S. Springsguth after P. J. Loutherbourg) and two other engraved plates (by Stallard and Sanders), contemporary half calf, gilt spine, red morocco label, marbled boards (very slightly soiled); two plates closely cropped at lower margin, probably removing "Published as the act directs" information, joints a little creased, but a very good copy. Brian Hill (1755 or 1756 - 1831) published this first in, probably, 1786, though it was written in 1783. This edition is considerably expanded from editions published in 1786, which consisted of 44 pages of text and no illustrations.
