London Printed and sold by H. Kent... T. Hope... J. Joliffe and T. Pote 1763 Rare. États : Quatrième édition, révisée et améliorée avec de nombreux ajouts nécessaires pour l'année en cours. Reliure cartonnée en plein cuir. Dos à nerfs. Texte parallèle en anglais et en français. La première planche s'est un peu détachée à la base mais reste ferme. Le cuir présente des signes de manipulation. A l'intérieur, les pages sont vieillies, mais propres. L'une des assemblées est un peu lâche à la base - sans doute parce que la première de couverture s'est légèrement détachée. Dans l'ensemble, un bon ouvrage rare. vii, table, 227, [1] pages. 175 x 115 mm (7 x 4œ inches). Pote était maître d'école à Eton et libraire. "Jos[eph] Pote of Eton, a man of great renown, / Buys a book for sixpence, and sells it for a crown" (extrait de ODNB).
Scarce. States: Fourth edition, revised and improved with many necessary additions to the present year. Full leather hardback. Raised bands to spine. Parallel text in English and French. Front board a little loose at base but still holding firm. Leather shows signs of handling. Internally, the pages are age toned, but clean. One gather feels a little loose at the base - presumably due to front board being slightly loose. Overall a good and rare item. vii, table, 227, [1] pages. 175 x 115 mm (7 x 4œ inches). Pote was an Eton school housemaster and bookseller. "Jos[eph] Pote of Eton, a man of great renown, / Buys a book for sixpence, and sells it for a crown" (from ODNB). .
