Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Fifteenth edition, enlarged and improved. 8vo. xi, 668 pp. In a recent full red calf, spine gilt. Sir Richard Phillips (17671840) was a London-born author and publisher of educational textbooks who used at least five pseudonyms, including that of Reverend C. C. Clarke.

No doubt meant as an accessible encyclopaedia, this volume is a wide-ranging, heterogeneous survey, which compiles natural and man-made curiosities across the world. The Himalayas and Mont Blanc share a chapter with the Peak of Derbyshire; famous rivers lead to mysterious subterranean forests; and Stonehenge is closely followed by St Paul's cathedral. Halfway between reference book and textbook, this richly illustrated volume is a fascinating catalogue of the world's wonders as perceived in the early nineteenth century. …
