Thomas Tyrwhitt's edition of Chaucer's poetry was initially published in five volumes in 1775 and again with a glossary in 1778. Tyrwhitt's treatment of Chaucer was revolutionary and his well-researched glossary opened Chaucer's obscure and archaic language to a much wider readership. His edition is considered by many to be foundational in modern Chaucer editorship.…

First Pickering printing, reprinting Tyrwhitt's groundbreaking edition of 1775-8, the first serious attempt to restore the genuine text. This is also Pickering's first major work as publisher - 'his first entirely characteristic production', according to Geoffrey Keynes (William Pickering, Publisher (p 15). The Canterbury Tales were apparently issued in Pickering's characteristic smooth cloth (red in this case), so the binding on this set, which certainly seems to be original, is surpising and must be uncommon. …

First Tyrwhitt edition. Beautiful 18th century Chaucer which was hailed at the time as the best-edited English classic that had appeared. Tyrwhitt consulted dozens of manuscript versions of Chaucer to put this together in 4 volumes, and added a glossary as the 5th volume 3 years later. This set in an untouched, period tree calf binding, and scarce thus. 5 volumes, 8vos, 310, 318, 320, 336, and 290pp. Contemporary tree calf, red spine labels with gilt lettering. Spines dry, toned, and with a few cracks and chipping at caps. Joints rubbed, upper joint in vol 1 cracked but holding. Few contemporary shelving numbers on front pastedowns, contemporary inscription to verso of title in vol 1 "Calf leat. Mr. Hodgson." Overall, a very good, sound set.…

First Edition. Large-paper copy. Tall octavo (25cm). In the publisher's binding of half-parchment over marbled boards; xxii,[2],231pp; fore and bottom edges uncut. The parchment spine is wanting its title label, otherwise the fragile publisher's binding is very nicely preserved, with expected rubbing and wear to extremities but with the boards solidly attached; the text fresh, clean, and unmarked, completely untrimmed preserving full margins; a Very Good copy. Musgrave (1732-1780) was both a physician and classicist, and achieved a measure of eminence in both fields, with the ODNB noting that ".as a Greek scholar, [Musgrave] had few superiors." Musgrave died in severely reduced circumstances, leaving a widow for whose benefit the current volume was published by subscription, the whole endeavor carried out by Musgrave's old friend Thomas Tyrwhitt. The list of subscribers is indeed impressive, including among others Samuel Johnson, Edward Gibbon, Joshua Reynolds, and others.
