Descripción

Small 8vo, pp 142, with a terminal blank, contemporary calf, boards worn and detached, internally sound and clean, a good copy for rebacking or rebinding, FIRST EDITION; the publishers added this supplement to the celebrated and popular original publication in three volumes of 1763, this additional volume therefore intended to be added to the set, with contents of the four volumes provided here. In this case it might be added together with matching spine supplied by a capable binder. It should be pointed out, however, that both this and the original were posthumous publications, and whilst there is some minor poetry of Lady Montagu dredged up here from manuscript, the letters in this volume are considered fakes. One imagines the publishers did not know this.but one never knows.With contemporary bookplate of Hugh Rogers. N° de ref. del artículo 29318
