The first edition was 1685, there are nine documented editions between 1685 and 1814, varying in printers, pagination, number of chapters and the way the title page is set up. The pagination for the 1779 edition indicates 172pp so this particular title was issued between 1685 and 1779. Either way, this is an extremely SCARCE edition.
