Sobre este artículo
London: printed for J. Walker, J. Wallis, and J. Binns, Leeds, 1789. 2nd edition. 12mo, pp. x, [ii, blank], 321, [3]. Some gatherings printed on blue paper. Contemporary sheep, spine divided by gilt rules, red morocco label. Somewhat browned and spotted throughout. Extremities a bit rubbed, corners just a touch worn, tidy repairs to joints and spine ends. Early ownership inscription of Alex. Brown to flyleaf. The posthumous, scarcer second edition of this highly-respected translation, first published 1760. Although Fawkes (bap. 1720-1777) had been widely read in his lifetime and formed a friendship with Samuel Johnson, he left little at his death for his widow to live upon, leading to publication of his unfinished works and and then this reprinting. ESTC T85627.
