Descripción

8vo, 100 + [2] pp. Original sewing, untrimmed, never bound. Lacks wrappers if issued as such, in any case probably simply blank interim wrappers. No half-title, as the first page after the title page is A2, but possibly there was a blank at the front as there is at the rear. Blank after end of text, pp. [101-102], with the single word "Amount" written on the verso. Second, much expanded edition; the first edition of 45 pp. is unprocurable. Title page with small bit missing from top right corner, otherwise in about very good condition. The first book on caving in the English language. John Hutton was a clergyman with a living in the area. N° de ref. del artículo 5030
