Being A very necessary Family-Book, containing Exact Rules and Directions for the Artificial killing and destroying of all manner of Vermin, &c, first edition, lacking 2 blank ff. at end, trimmed close at head affecting some headlines, bound slightly tight with letters very occasionally just disappearing into gutter, some light spotting, lightly browned, modern antique-style speckled calf, [Westwood & Satchell, p. 215; Wing W155], 12mo, for Samuel Lee, 1680.

⁂ Rare, with only a few copies recorded at auction. There is a curious typesetting omission affecting leaf B9: text on B9v begins with the heading "Another" whereas the catchword on B9r is "toge-". Presumably, the verso text should have read "ther, approved".
