About this Item

Such is the fate of a lending library copy. In ink, elaborately underlined, on front pastedown of each volume: T. Whitehorn s / Sommers Town / Library. At the top right of the front pastedown is an early price for the book: "3V - 13/[shillings]." Previous owner s penciled signature top of each half-title: (?) "R F B Marlay." In the first volume is a list of 6 penciled names of the lendees (tough to read as the graphite has blurred). In the second volume there is a large yellow bookseller's ticket: "Wm. Grace, / Stationer & Medical / Bookseller. / 40, West Smithfield. / Periodical Publications regularly serv d." Not in Sadleir; Wolff 318 for the first edition published in 2 volumes in 1807.
