Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for C&J Rivington. 1826-1828, 1826. First edition. Volume I published by C&J Rivington, the other two volumes by John Murray. 8vo. 212x130mm. pp. Vol. I: xvii, [3], 498 (lacking half-title); Vol. II: [vi], 534, errata leaf; Vol. III: [x], [2], 541. Half calf, marbled paper covered boards. Maroon morocco label to spine, lettered in gilt. Some slight rubbing to edges and to small areas one the spines (particularly to the foot of volume II) but overall in very good condition. Internally fine. A very nice set. This first edition of volume I is rare, no copy being recorded at the BL. Warton was, in fact, William Wood, a High Anglican Priest from Fulham. Although the work is presented as advice for a parish priest on how to administer to the dying and support the bereaved, it is written in a such a direct and personal way that it can be read as a sort of novel.

Sobre Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
