About this Item

Two vols in one, folio, pp. [ii], 18; 19; in very good condition, with outer margins untrimmed; in recent boards. First editions of both parts. Part II was not printed in the collected edition of Whitehead's verse published in 1777, and is widely assumed to have been written by another hand; Foxon notes that 'his authorship must be regarded as questionable'. In this copy of Part I, 'E---e' on page 11 has been corrected in manuscript to 'E----x', and the following word ('and') has been crossed out; the ornament on the title-page is inverted. Foxon W426 and W431.
