Descripción del artículo del vendedor

6 parts in 1 vol. (pagination continuous), a few leaves slightly browned, pp. [xii], viii, 96, [ii], 584, 4to, contemporary sprinkled calf, double gilt fillets on sides, spine richly gilt, red lettering piece, headcap partly defective, the Macclesfield copy with bookplate and blindstamp, good. A reissue of the 1731 edition, with a different title-page, dedication, a list of contents to the whole volume, and the sixth part.

These were the forerunners of his most significant work, the monthly pamphlet, Phoenix Britannicus: a Miscellaneous Collection of Scarce and Curious Tracts. The first number appeared in January 1732 [sic, recte 1731] and ran for six successive months before lack of subscribers led to its discontinuation' (ODNB). The dearth of subscibers is alluded to in a footnote to the Contents, Morgan promising to print their names when he has more of them, adding that 'to prevent needless Trouble, and Mistakes, it is desired, "That the Persons who have Orders to take in the Books, may also be ordered to pay the Bearer:" Which some Gentlemen have forgot to do.' In some copies a 2-page Postscript to Preface is found before the second Number. (ESTC T101295).…
