London: Printed by J.D. for Richard Chiswell at the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Church-Yard. First edition. 8vo. Pp [viii] 102, [-1-2] 270. Portrait not present, divisional title to second part (B1) removed, therefore missing two leaves in all, remaining divisional titles pages present. Rather irregularly bound, viz; title page to introduction bound before the general title page, and the four prelims (three contents pages and imprimatur) are bound between 98 and 103, contemporary calf, sometime rebacked, duplicate stamp of the Bodleian Library on verso of first title page. Some even browning, but a good copy.

Dealer Notes

An important work of Bacon, bringing together a number of his works, often found incomplete for some reason. Nevertheless, an excellent provenance. Priced accordingly. ~ POST FREE ~ .
