2 parts in one volume, 8° (172 x 102mm), engraved frontispiece, list of subscribers. CONTEMPORARY CRIMSON MOROCCO GILT, BOUND FOR JONAS HANWAY, the covers with a border composed of roses and foliage, an emblematic stamp of a winged hourglass in corners, in the centre a woman's head surrounded by the motto 'O Save Me Save Me', and a rhomb of two rows of stars; spine with five raised bands, green morocco lettering-piece, the other compartments with floral tool, yellow edges, lined cloth case. Provenance: Standert, 4 Great James Street (18th-century inscription on fly-leaf); John Sparrow (booklabel, sold in our rooms 21 October 1992, lot 164).
IN VERY FINE CONDITION. An unusually elaborate binding by Jonas Hanway's Second Binder. A census listing 23 such Hanway bindings is given by G.D.Hobson in his English Bindings in the Library of J.R.Abbey, 1940, the above binding is unrecorded. Hanway was an indefatigable philanthropist, whose statue is in Westminster Abbey. He was one of the founders of the Magdalen Charity for Fallen Women, incorporated in 1769, when it moved into a new building in St.George's Field, which would have required a new set of rules. H.M.Nixon, Five Centuries of Eng;ish Bookbinding, 1978, no.78 illustrates a similar binding for King George III
