12mo. Unpaginated. Contemporary gilt-tooled sheep. Extremities heavily worn, joints split, loss to head of spine. Marbled endpapers, contemporary armorial bookplate to FEP and inked ownership inscription to front blank fly-leaf of Cosmo George, Duke of Gordon.

Cosmo George Gordon, third Duke of Gordon (1720-1752), Scottish peer. Gordon was named after his father's close friend, Jacobite sympathiser Cosimo III de' Medici (1642-1723). Unlike his father, Alexander Gordon, second Duke of Gordon (c.1678-1728), who fought with the Jacobites at the Battle of Sheriffmuir during the 1715 Rising, Cosmo, despite the pleas of his younger brother Lord Lewis, declined to support the Rising of 1745.
