Lowndes p. 2329: "The preface to this little volume contains a curious account of the fabricated portraits of Shakespeare." Jaggard p. 692: "A few copies were done on large paper. The first distinct effort towards a complete Shakespeare bibliography. It was preceded by Capell's limited sketch in his edition of the poet's works 1767-68 and by the Marquis of Bute in 1805." An account of spurious portraits of Shakespeare occupies pp. vi-xxxvi. This copy measures larger than others on line; despite the very ample margins I'm reluctant to call this a large paper copy.

A treatise on the mineral waters of Harrogate and its vicinity
London: Longman and Co.; Black Edinburgh; Langdale Harrogate; Inchbold and Cross Leeds 1830. First edition 12mo pp. vii 1 138; original printed green muslin an early example of printed cloth some fraying along the joints and spine spine sunned else very good. The text treats of the medical history of mineral baths sulfur springs chalybeate springs saline springs directions for taking the waters baths exercise and diet. The binding is one of the first cloth bindings with printed covers. Books bound in full cloth date from the 1760s onwards. These early cloth bindings were generally of coarsely woven hessian cloth or canvas and used most frequently on school textbooks. Publishers' full cloth bindings date from the early to mid-1820s William Pickering being one of the early innovators. In 1829 gilt was used to label the spines on these cloth-bound volumes and by 1834 the cloth was finally embellished with an illustration. I can find no books in the bookbinding literature with printed cloth covers of an earlier date. OCLC locates copies at the BL Oxford Leeds Cambridge U. of St. Andrews York Aberdeen Edinburgh National Library of Scotland McGill 1 in Paris and in the U.S. only 3: College of Physicians in Philadelphia Wisconsin and Penn.
