Highlights
THE WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE VOL. IV PUBLISHED MDCCLXVII
PRINTED FOR J. GARDNER & R.GRAY ~ LONDON
P. ANDERSON, LUCKENBOOTHS ~ EDINBURGH
For followers of Alexander Pope this book needs no introduction so I shall focus instead on its condition which is very good indeed. And especially considering it is circa 250 years old. The leather boards are worn but holding strong. The 275 pages are bright and clean and firmly bound together with cotton thread as was customary at the time. The text is extremely legible (once you’ve mastered the 18th century serif fonts) and there are barely any marks. A neat name of the original owner (Roberts) is hand-written at the front.
The book includes prefaces to Homer’s Iliad and to the works of Shakespeare together with letters to and from Mr Wycherley from 1704 - 1710.
To put the age of the book into perspective it was published as King George lll reigned over England, Louis XVI ruled France and Jane Austen was a two-year old infant. John Hancock was the 3rd US President.
Measures 7 x 4 inches (18 x 10 centimetres)
