Añadir al carrito2 vols. in 1, a little spotting and marginal damp-staining, first leaf of second vol. creased and the opening with a light stain (apparently from a bookmark), pp. [iv], [i], [v-] viii, 172; 204, 8vo, recased in the original green linen backed boards, spine faded, edges rubbed, later printed paper label on spine, good. The transl…ator begins her preface (which is on an inserted leaf): 'The constant kindness with which for the last thirty years my works have been regarded by the public, and especially the favourable reception which it has deigned to give to this production of my pen, might have authorised me in not making in not making any alteration in this edition', and goes on to outline the changes. However we have not been able to locate any earlier edition. Nor have we been able to ascertain much about 'Miss Webb' (as she appears on the title-page). That she was connected with Oxford or Oxfordshire is obvious from the dedication to the county's MP, and the preponderance of Oxfordshire addresses for the subscribers. Otherwise we have drawn a blank. BL and Bodleian only in COPAC and WorldCat.
