"The Second edition, with the addition of many physical herbs and their vertues". 12mo (measures 165mm x 105mm), pp (6), 349, (29) (though errors in pagination mean that there are actually 411 pages of main text), a little used and marked throughout, the contemporary signature of an early owner on the blank facing the title page (Wm Brecknock - his book - 1714), and his signature again on the preface page, the front endpaper very nearly detached and the hinge at the title page cracked but very sound, lacking the rear endpaper.
