A small loss on the back of Volume I, on a nerve. A yellow spot on the first page of Volume II in the middle margin. Nice copy. Number of tables used to locate in the book.
Very interesting dictionary, his purpose being to identify all of the great battles of ancient history and modern; there is even more entries for America (Quebec, Louisbourg, Rio, Cartagena de Indias). Also records are quite remarkably written, and are not simple definitions: "Like those destructive torrents overthrow everything that opposes their impetuous course, Muhammad's disciples were in the provinces of the Roman Empire desolation and death.
