Pagination: [2], 416p. Modern antique speckled calf, floral gilt decorative spine, gilt title on label, new endpapers, original blanks present. With original thin bookmark ribbon bound in, at p 178-79, leaving faint ghosting at very inner margin, no affect. Some minor foxing throughout at outer margins, overall still a near fine copy. At time of description we locate no other copies for sale and no auction records via Rare Book Hub. John Douglas, Bishop of Salisbury (1721-1807), Scottish scholar, author, and bishop. Vicar of High Ercall, Shropshire in 1750; Canon of Windsor in 1762; Bishop of Carlisle in 1787; and Bishop of Salisbury in 1791.
