Description:

Unpaginated. Illustrated throughout with celestial graphs/ charts. (8vo) 19x14 cm (7½x5½") period calf boards, re-backed with black cloth tape. First Edition.

Scarce early work on astrology. John Gadbury was an English astrologer, and a prolific writer of almanacs and on other related topics.

Fair amount of wear to boards, edges and corners worn, chips to bottom corners, original spine lacking, re-backed with black cloth tape; hinges cracked, rear board loose, first 3 leaves detached but present, text block split at middle with a few detached leaves, toning and scattered foxing throughout, early owners' signatures on endpapers, occasional early notes and marginalia; overall a shaken, well-worn copy with some detached leaves but none lacking.
