Beschreibung

12mo, (175x105mm), viii,192p, finger-soiled throughout. Original sheep, rebacked, the rear free endleaf replaced with near-contemporary paper. Signatures of Robt Lloyd (two versions in different hands) on the title one with Marquis [?] added beneath, and on front free endleaf 'Sarah Lloyd her Book 1831' (again two versions, one in an unformed hand) and 'Elizabeth Hayes and Hannah Hayes Was Born July 19 of C R. Hayes 1875.' Advertised on the title as 'price Two Shillings Bound.' The conviction with which we state `original calf' above - as opposed to our usual and more cautious 'Contemporary ?original' - is based in part on this advertised price and partly on the presence of a printed page of 'Arithmetical Tables' within a wavy rule frame, which constitutes the front pastedown endleaf. A popular maths textbook which saw thirty or so editions in the second half of the 18th century, mainly London but also provincial printings from Birmingham, Gainsborough, Manchester (1794), Uttoxeter and York. Many more editions were to follow in the 19th century including printings in Toronto and Montreal. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 23966
