Edinburgh: : Printed for Robert Jameson, Parliament Square.,
M,DCC,LXXVII. [1777]
This book was first printed in Edinburgh in 1766 by Walter Ruddiman, and sold by the author herself at Perth, as well as by other booksellers. Second and third editions followed, also by Ruddiman for Robertson, the second with an additional engraved title page. This rare edition (this copy is the only one recorded in Scotland) proclaims itself as a 'new edition, corrected', but is really a corrected edition of the second edition of 1767, with the engraved title page altered to include the new date. Both title pages now state that this edition was printed for the Edinburgh bookseller Robert Jameson; it may well have been printed by the Ruddiman firm.
The list of topics on the title page are arrayed in three columns: gum-flowers ... painting ; cosmetics ... creams ; jamms ... clear starching.
Includes an added engraved title page.
