Letters written by a Peruvian Princess. Translated from the French. The second edition. Revised and corrected by the translator. To which is now first added, The Sequel of the Peruvian Letters

2 (or 3, see below) parts in 1 vol., outer leaves browned around the edges and with a little fraying, a few spots here and there, and some browning, pp. xii, 259, [1, blank], cclxi-cclxiv, 265-307, [5]; vi, [7-] 48, 12mo, modern calf-backed boards, sound. First published in 1747, the epistolary novel, Lettres d'une Péruvienne, was an instant bestseller, and was translated into several languages. The first English edition was in 1748, also printed in Dublin. In this second edition The Sequel is added, accounting for the hiatus in the collation. In addition, here we have another setting of The Sequel, with its own title-page (as opposed to the drophead title in the main body), a printing which is not recorded in ESTC. ESTC does record a Dublin printing, also 1749, of only 32 pp. (ESTC T118805 BL & Newbery only).
