A propos de cet article

Full blind stamped panelled calf, G+. [xii]+viii+[iv]+240+8pp, ( Dedication [ to Sir Hans Sloane ], preface, contents, The History, Postscript ). Occasional foxing & a little yellowing of the paper with the occasional creased corner & ink splash, upper board detached with the leather a little rubbd along the edges & worn to the head & tail of the spine, Old ownership signature to the title with relating offsetting to the blank opposite, Ex Library [ Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland ] with two ink stamps, a nice copy, in need of some restoration.
