London: University of Glasgow, Robert & Andrew Foulis, 1774. Leather. Good. 5" by 3". None. Two pocket sized volumes of William Mason's poetry, in a uniform leather binding. The first Foulis edition of Mason's poetry. Robert and Andrew Foulis were brothers who worked in partnership as printers to the University of Glasgow. The brothers dominated the Glasgow book trade and held an international reputation for their editions of the classics. The majority of their books were intended for scholars however some were produced specifically for collectors of select works. William Mason was ordained in 1754 and held a number of posts in the church. His 1747 poem 'Musaeus', a monody on the Death of Mr Pope went through several editions and was very well received. His two historical tragedies 'Elfrida' and 'Caractacus' were used in translation as libretti for 18th Century operas. Volume I contains his 'Musaeus', his Odes, his Elegies, Epitaphs and Dramatic Poems. Volumes II starts with his 'Caractacus', followed by his letters and illustrations of Caractacus. In full calf bindings. Externally, rubbed to the joints and spines. Loss to the head and tail of the spine to volume II. Loss to front joint of volume I. All joints to both volumes are starting but firm with the hinges tender with cords showing. Prior owner's ink inscription to front endpaper, E Aglionby. Internally, both volumes are firmly bound. Pages are age-toned to the edges with scattered spots throughout. Good
