Provenance: From the library of Chrétien François De Lamoignon (1735-1789), bound in his characteristic style, with his label Bibliotheca Lamoniana V 60, his ink stamp and his shelf-marks 2K 59 6060 in manuscript (with the 59 and first 60 crossed through) on the front flyleaf and the shelf-mark tooled in the bottom panel of the spine. Lamoignon was one of the earliest collectors to regularly tool the date of publication at the foot of the spine with his shelf-marks. His library was bought by Thomas Payne, who issued a catalogue of it in 1793.
