[Bruce, Alexander.] AN INQUIRY INTO THE CAUSE OF THE PESTILENCE. IN THREE PARTS. Edinburgh: for Millar, London; A Kincaid and J. Bell, Edin., 1759. 12mo. [2], 112, 154 pp. Disbound. *********** Includes several lengthy sections on Native Americas, including a detailed listing of various tribes giving their locations and any details known or believed to be true. This work was also printed with a variant title over an S. Bladon imprint in the same year; the pagination is identical in both (priority between the two unknown.)

Faint small withdrawal stamp to lower margin of first page and some early ownership signatures, title soiled and with light chipping to fore-margin; final leaf with strengthening near gutter, a short closed tear, and with chip to corner removing a couple of letters (chipped portion laid in for future restoration.) Some light foxing or similar minor blemishes. Very faint ink-stamp to page 101 in Appendix. As-is. Certainly worthy of having bound.
