Small 8vo (in 4s), pp. [iv], 199 [200 blank], including half-title, contemporary sheepskin, red leather label; front joint cracked and tender, rear joint rubbed, top and base of spine chipped. With the contemporary inscription "Thomas Browns/ Book" on the title-page and the armorial bookplate of Chas. Laudos [?] Pole on the front paste-down end-paper.
