Thanks for help,

 

1778, 229yrs old!!

 

Looked at the links those books have alot of artwork, this one has none, but does have alot of spelling miftakes.

 

Probably not worth restoring?

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??


(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

This needs further investigation.

 

Have had over the phone valuations ranging from £50 to £2500 if i have both volumes which i have, and is the first edition which is to be verified.

 

Have got an appointment with a few dealers and an auction house, next week.
