London: W. Griffin, 1765. First Edition. 12mo, [2], vii, 236pp, 2pp ads; full polished tan morocco gilt with five raised bands, finely tooled in gilt with quatrefoil emblems, with gilt tooling on both covers, a.e.g. Bookplate; contemporary ownership signature to title page, with later 19th century inscription on first blank; just a touch of rubbing to edges and partial split to front hinge.

There is dispute over which of two 1765 editions has priority. This copy was bound by Fletcher Battershall with his distinctive bat-emblem signature; Battershall bookplate on front pastedown. A very appealing copy.
