This is a beautiful and extremely rare antiquarian book printed in 1733 and rebound in calf skin leather and beautiful marbled boards and gilt lettering/date on the 5 band spine. I recently acquired a collection of out-of-print antiquarian books from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. A few were printed in the 17th century. The majority are about religion, theology, philosophy, education, sermons, thought. I only have a few more books to list. This will be a unique opportunity to purchase some very old, extremely rare editions.
