Faithorne after P. Lely, engraved frontispiece, and 100 plates, the majority by W. Hollar after F. Cleyn, others after P. Lombart. One double-page engraved map. (Some browning, mainly of lower margins, M1 with heavy stain at lower margin, 2Z1 with repair at foot, a few other small marginal defects.) CONTEMPORARY GOLD-TOOLED RED TURKEY, covers with wide dentelle border surrounding a centre panel filled with massed curlicues in stepped form on a spangled ground, spine gilt-lettered and tooled, gilt board edges and turn-ins, gilt edges (extremities rubbed, a few scuff marks, small areas of discolouration).
