[BOUND TO SIZE] OBSERVATIONS ON THE THREE FIRST VOLUMES OF THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH POETRY. IN A FAMILIAR LETTER TO THE AUTHOR

Half Leather

1782 · London

by [Joseph Ritson, or Richardson]
London: J. Stockdale; R. Faulder, 1782. First Edition. Half Leather. Very Good+ binding. 8vo.; in an attractive later binding of red half-goat over marbled boards with raised bands, with morocco label lettered vertically; with marbled endpapers; [2], 49, [1] pages.~~A note on this rather interesting binding: we assume that the binder was charged with binding a group of different books to a uniform size -- the title page is trimmed and mounted, and all the other leaves are folded neatly to fit, the bottom edge and then the leading edge over it. Rather astonishing, actually.~~This is Ritson’s first book, in which he attacks Thomas Warton’s History of English (truncated)
