Contemporary calf (boards detached, scuffing, extremities and corners rubbed). Provenance : John Carter (ownership inscriptions dated 1837 and 1844). SECOND EDITION. The present form of the work was issued in 80 parts between late 1767? and mid-1769. The frontispiece and the plates are reprinted from the first 1755?-57 edition but the original numbering has been erased from all the plates, and the coppers are now numbered top left, with the part number and page reference incised top right. Ware's Complete Body provides a comprehensive overview of Georgian architectural design theory and practice. His intention, as written in the preface, is '.. to lay down in one body the whole science of architecture, from its first rudiments to its utmost perfection; and that in a manner which shall render every part of it intelligible to every reader...'. Berlin Kat 2283; Fowler 436; Lowndes 2840; RIBA 3582.
