Original 1753 publication with intriguing historical content - Liberty Bell Raised; Some Account of the Natives of Louisiana; Architecture plans; City of Pozzuoli (Naples); the Jews Bill (naturalization); Charleston, South Carolina; Philadelphia - Indian tribes; Rabies; Earthquakes in Hispaniola; Cure for Gravel & Stone; &c. Toned, especially the title page, offsetting on first few pages from a paper insert, many fine woodcuts throughout but no other illustrations. Scarce, Liberty Bell bit is terrific.
