Description

[2],224p. ; 12°.

Note

The imprint is false; probably printed on the continent

With a half-title

Titlepage in red and black

In this edition the title is not printed within a decorative surround, there is a full-stop after "Nourse" and the word "An" in the imprint has an upper case initial

There are several issues with reset titlepages, each with a slightly different ornament; in this issue the double rule below the imprint begins under the "z" in 'Chez', and the 'G' in 'Gresset', below the epigraph, is under the 'al' of 'talens'

Often, but erroneously, supposed to have been printed in 1753 (Martin, Mylne & Frautschi).
