Librería: Christopher Edwards ABA ILAB, Henley-on-Thames, OXON, Reino Unido
Small 8vo, pp. [viii], 184; contemporary half calf, morocco label; a fine copy. Third edition of this significant collection of poetry compiled by the younger Thomas Warton, and first published at Oxford (but with a false Edinburgh imprint) in 1753. The book seems to have been revised with each edition, but there are some constants, including Gray's Elegy, Lowth's Genealogy of Christ, odes by Joseph Warton, William Collins and William Mason, and Smollett's Tears of Scotland.
