Catalogue Note
As noted in BAL RIBA, "the '1743' edition could have been kept in print for decades, and other reprints, or partial reprints, may well have been undertaken". This copy seems to have elements of letterpress pages from the 1743 edition and a later (c. 1790?) edition, whilst having watermarks of a fleur-de-lys within a double circle (as with the 1743 edition noted in BAL RIBA).
