Item description from seller

12mo, pp. lii, 101; title page a bit foxed, else a good copy, in contemporary sheep, rebacked (corners worn). Second edition: first published the year before. An inexpensive reprint, omitting Welsted's prose translation of Longinus, which occupied almost half of the octavo edition. As reported by Foxon, the title-page appears to be a cancel. Bound without a preliminary leaf of bookseller's advertisements, which is also not present in at least three of the twelve copies reported in ESTC. Foxon p. 877. Provenance. Early signature on the title-page of Charles Walmesley.
