[Marsh, Henry] A New Survey of the Turkish Empire and Government, in A Brief History deduced to the present Time, and the Reign of the now Grand Seignor Mahomet the IV, 2 parts in one volume, ?first edition, 1 [of 2] engraved plates, errata leaf, some browning, a few leaves creased, contemporary calf, rubbed, 12mo, London: Printed for Henry Marsh, 1663 [cf. Wing M729]
RARE. This copy has several irregularities. The imprint makes no mention of the printer, unlike the copies cited in Wing. However, the title does not appear to be a cancel. Most copies call for 72 pages to the first part, others 76. This copy has 76 pages, but the text (which opens with a copy of a letter 'coming newly to Hand by a person of quality') does not correspond across pp.73-74 and pp.75-76.
