12mo., neat contemporary signature on front paste-down, some light and intermittent age-staining to text, title and first two leaves of Table open awkwardly; contemporary mottled calf, sometime rebacked in calf to style, backstrip with black leather label lettered and tooled in gilt, boards rubbed at edges and corners else a bright, clean copy.
Bright copy of the most famous herbal in English, first published in 1652 and commonly known as 'Culpeper's Herbal'. In the following year the author altered the format of his work, apparently to differentiate it from the two well-known piracies issued by Bentley immediately after first publication. VERY SCARCE.
