Notes
Dated from plates.
"Adorn'd with several curious copper plates" --Title page.
"Price six pence bound and gilt" --At foot of title page.
A different work than the 1765 (18 page) title noted in ESTC, presumably a later publication with additional material.
Illustrations: Engraved frontispiece, and two engraved plates, dated "Decemr. 24, 1767," all depicting Christmas or New Year's recreations.
Cotsen copy: Inscribed vertically on rear pastedown in brown, apparently by a child: "Edward."
Binding note
Publisher's Dutch floral paper-covered boards.
