1798
by Dibdin, Thomas Frognall
1798. London: Feb. 6, (17)98.
4to, 4 pp., written in ink. Fold neatly restored, in very good condition.
§ This is one of the earliest, and by far the most important, Dibdin letters extant. It is fully described and transcribed in Windle and Pippin E2 and it describes Dibdin's first publication, "The Whole Law relative to the Rights of Persons" of which no copy is known to survive. For a long time it was the only proof we had that this "chart" was ever printed, let alone in colored and uncolored copies. A second letter mentioning the chart was only recently discovered. This letter is to Cadell & Davies, publisher of two editions (truncated)
