THE CHOICE OF A HUSBAND, A POEM

Descripción

24pp. Quarto (22 x 18 cm, signed as folio). Disbound, with original stabholes visible. A dim but unrepentant copy, with three stamps from a defunct American mercantile library, moderate tanning and soiling, an old tidemark in the lower fore-corners, pencil highlights and general soiling, and a closed tear at the gutter of the terminal leaf. First edition thus. A ten-line preliminary Advertisement indicates the poem was written in 1762 and was never intended for publication. It further claims that it is here printed from a faulty transcription of the original manuscript ("supposed to be destroyed"). The imprint includes co-publishers in London (J. and J. Robinson), Birmingham (Mr. Swinney) and Shrewsbury (Mr. Wood). Salter is credited with 9 publications in ESTC, three of them in Welsh, but this title is not recorded there. However, OCLC locates a single copy, at Cardiff University. OCLC: 896022867. N° de ref. del artículo WRCLIT88358
