This edition, unlike some of its predecessors, proudly bears Mrs. Glasse's name on its title page as well as her fascimile signature in the headpiece of the first chapter.

The last twelve pages in this one (a list of new books printed for H.D. Symonds) are printed on white paper. A torn baking powder advertisement with recipes on one side has been bound in between the half-title and the title-page. Bitting, 186-90; Oxford, 76-77; Vicaire 413-14 (not citing this edition). Recent speckled calf, panelled front and back with mottled and speckled calf; panels with blind -tooled corner fleurons. Spine with five raised bands and gilt-stamped title label. Pages with some dog-ears, a very few small spots of foxing, and occasional discolorations; generally clean.Includes index.Mode of access: Internet.OSU's c.1 has a description of the book titled "Hansomely bound Blue-Paper Copy laid in
