8vo, pp. [20], 619 [i.e. 631], [1], [124] index; page nos. 573-584 duplicated in pagination; 8 leaves in the index possibly supplied as they are on cleaner and heavier paper, but likely this is a printer's vagary; contemporary full paneled calf rebacked in the 20th century, endpapers renewed; red leather label on spine, sprinkled edges (including on the 8 leaves of the index on heavier paper); a good, sound, and relatively clean copy. Ownership inscription on the flyleaf: "E libris Philippi Morant / E Coll. Pemb. Oxon / 1718." This is almost certainly Philip Morant (1700-1770), the English clergyman, author, and historian who attended Pembroke College, Oxford. "Morant wrote The History and Antiquities of Colchester, published in 1748; and his county history, The History and Antiquities of the County of Essex, published in two volumes between 1763 and 1768. He also conducted a number of excavations of Roman sites in and around the town" (Wikipedia). In this copy p. 93 is correctly numbered, and gathering Aa is properly bound after the Z gathering. Identified as the "editio sexta" on the title page, ESTC locates none earlier. Bound with: Walker, John. A full and plain account of the Horatian metres . The fifth edition, with additions. Glasgow: printed at the University Press: sold by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, & Brown, London; and Tims, Grafton Street, Dublin, 1822. 8vo, pp. 15, [1] ads.
