(8vo) 16.5x10 cm (6½x4") disbound, the spine mended with archival tape, housed in a modern custom cloth case. Outer blanks with staining from the original binding; light foxing within; very good First Edition in English.Lowndes, IV, p. 2025.The poem by the French abbé Claude Quillett (1602-1661) was first published in Leiden in 1655 and in Paris in 1656. A Latin version was issued in London in 1708. Two English versions appeared in 1710 and another in 1712. The plates by Elisha Kirkall (1682-1742) were not ready when the book was issued and are thus often lacking, as is the case here. Later editions contain William Oldisworth's name on the title-page, identified as translator.
