Cambridge, W. Thurlbourn- Bookseller in Cambridge, 1748, 1st edition, 2 volumes. Sm 4to, [xxiv] 496 [iv] 497-1105p. + 6p. index. Also includes 31 folding plates and a multi-folded sea chart of the whole world. Early polished calf with elaborately decorated spine, raised bands & black leather labels. Rutherforth (1712-1771) succeeded Isaac Newton as a teacher, was appointed chaplain to the Prince of Wales and was a member of the Royal Society (which latter position, it is said, he used to promote his books). He is usually supposed to have had a relatively popular writing style and the present volumes are particularly nicely illustrated. A pleasant and readable selection of 18th century science.
Moderate overall wear to covers- hinges very tender but still attached. One owner's name & 50 year-old price on fep: anonymous coat-of-arms bookplate in each volume. Internally- paper browned in the text area but otherwise white, flexible & shows little foxing. All foldouts in nearly new cond.- no misfolded or missing plates. A very good set.
