The Present State of the Ottoman Empire ... 2nd edition, 1668, engraved portrait frontispiece, 2 engraved plates and numerous vignettes to the letterpress, all depicting Turkish costume, frontispiece and title page browned, and frayed and soiled in margins, general mild soiling, a few chips or tears in lower margins, old repair to fore margin of C4, contemporary ownership inscription of one Jonathan Grundy to frontispiece verso and title, recent panelled calf to style, folio, together with Hill (Aaron), A Full and Just Account of the Present State of the Ottoman Empire in all its Branches, 3rd edition, 1733, 6 engraved plates, variable light browning and soiling, contemporary sheep, covers detached, worn, folio Blackmer 1463, Cox I p. 210 and Wing R2413 for Rycaut; Cox I p. 220 for Hill; neither edition in Atabey but cf. 1067 for the third edition of Rycaut (1670) and 580 for the first edition of Hill (1709). First practically obtainable edition of Rycaut: 'the first edition, 1666/7, was almost wholly destroyed in the Great Fire (according to Pepys)' (Blackmer). This third edition of Hill's work appears to be highly uncommon: ESTC locates four copies only; Atabey erroneously cites a later, 1740 edition as the third edition. Provenance: Christopher Hogwood CBE (1941-2014). (1)
