Paris: Chez Emery, Fils, 1718. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Full dark calf leather with red morocco spine label, edges stained red, 10-1/8" x 8-1/4", [12], 8, xl, 475, [5], including errata. Woodcut device on title page & 2 headpieces. The binding is modern in period style, nicely done. I believe the red stain is original; pages do not appear trimmed.
