8vo., First Edition thus, on laid paper, with a fine engraved portrait frontispiece and 17 fine engraved portraits; original brown pebble-grain cloth, gilt back, uncut, primrose endpapers, very short split in upper joint (but binding entirely sound), a remarkably well-preserved, crisp, clean copy.
THIS COPY WAS PRESENTED BY EDMUND BLUNDEN TO HIS ALMA MATER CHRIST'S HOSPITAL AND BEARS AN APPROPRIATE PRESENTATION BOOKPLATE ON FRONT PASTE-DOWN AND SMALL BLIND STAMP ON TITLE. The copy is not however signed or inscribed by Blunden. An invaluable and much-needed reissue, printed by Henry Richardson and with fine plates by Wenceslaus Hollar, of the original Portsmouth edition of 1647. This edition is scarce in its own right.
