the pagination jump occurs between the end of the third book
and the beginning of the fourth, indicating, perhaps, the lack of
a sub-title or other matter but the catchwords are correct and the
text reads on and we have, consequently, priced the item
accordingly, 4to, strongly bound in a rubbed and worn but
sound and strong 19C half calf: the title-page lightly soiled and
strengthened in the blank fore-margin, with three small oval
stamps and an inscription “William Carroll Waterford 1775” at
head and an earlier inscription “Ex Libris Jacobi Carroll
Ossoriensis” and further signature “Pascal (?) Carroll” in lower
blank margin, the errata leaf at end (verso blank) neatly backed,
otherwise a large-margined and very good copy.

the errata leaf at end beginning “An advertisement to the reader. The
