xvi, 390pp. Title page printed in red and black. In a robust library binding: quarter bound in green leather over blue cloth-covered boards, gilt lettering to spine. Decorated endpapers. 8vo. Boards a little worn, rubbed on corners and spine tips, mild scuffing around a sunned spine. Ex lending library with usual, tidy, markings. Some faint and occasional spotting on prelims, smudges on half-title page, else internally neat, clean and tidy. With an interesting bibliographical note giving a history of printing of Sir John Mandeville's remarks, with authorities, by A W Pollard. The Travels of Sir John Mandeville were edited anonymously in 1735, in a version for which a 'Cotton manuscript' in the British Museum is the only extant authority.
