Payne, and Benjamin White, 1769 ('Second Edition, revised, with several Additions')/ [1754]. Folio, xvi, 464 pages with 13 illustrations plus 25 plates (one folding) and 2 maps (one folding). Modern ledger-style half…calf and cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine; leather rubbed, marked and a little sunned; cloth a little marked; minor worming to the bottom margin of the first ten leaves (with tissue-paper repairs to the first four); first and last two leaves (three of them blank) heavily foxed, with scattered foxing elsewhere; bottom edge of the folding map of Cornwall reinforced with paper on the verso, with minimal loss to the bottom and leading margins, and some creases along the folds; old damp-stain near the bottom corner of the last 40 leaves; paper infill to minor loss to the leading edge of the second-last leaf (affecting the first word of eight entries in the Wea-Wel section of the Cornish-English vocabulary); early tissue-paper repairs to a handful of leaves; overall, a decent copy. The early ownership details of 'Glasson | Greenbank | Falmouth' are written in ink at the head of the title page; later, the armorial bookplate of the Blackmore Museum Library, Salisbury was mounted on the verso of the title leaf; most recently, Emeritus Professor J.V.S. Megaw appended his small pictorial bookplate to the front pastedown.
