Collector's Notes: 

Delightful endpapers showing the ignobility of their metal through the severe oxidation of the back pastedown. Most amusing, though, is the apparent re-gifting of this binding: the earlier personalization, already 35 years later than the imprint (C.M.T/1758) was simply tooled over when the book changed hands (A.M.D/1784). One wonders about the relationship between those owners (parent to child? Total strangers?) and what their reaction must have been.
