Contemp. calf (corners repaired, def. on upper cover), spine with 5 raised bands (joints splitting).
Third edition (first 1754) of this instructional geography book conceived as a series of questions and answers by the English school teacher D. Fenning (1714-1767). Engraving from a celestial globe added. According to the British Library's digitised copy the 1769 edition comprises no engravings; thus this one, loosely inserted, is probably from another edition.
