Description:
Dublin: Printed for P. Wilson, J. Exshaw, E. Watts, B. Cotter, J. Potts, and J. Williams. M,DCC,LXV. 1765. FIRST DUBLIN EDITION. 12mo, 160 x 95 mms., pp. [iv], 234, later 18th century calf, panelled in blind, spine with raised bands, sides with blind fillet borders. A very good to fine copy, with the autograph "L.

He was not a "Native of Formosa," but he did publish a book on the island, Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa (1704). Robert DeMaria, Jr. in his Oxford DNB entry astutely compares him to some other 18th century whose imagination was inversely proportional to facts in their lives: "The… Read More
