Two volumes. Unpaginated, but collated and complete. Printed in double columns. 12mo. Contemporary speckled calf, ruled in gilt, spines gilt. Bindings rubbed and worn, chipped at spine ends, worn at corners, hinges worn. First volume lacks front free endpaper. Lower fifth of the titlepage of the first volume is torn away, costing the imprint. Lightly tanned. Good. This copy bears the bookplates and ownership signatures of Philip Philip Livingston (1741- 87), the descendant of the prominent Livingston family of New York State. His bookplate is also on the front pastedown of both volumes, and his ink stamp is on the first volume's titlepage. Baker's work is one of the earliest reference works on the history of the theatre in the British Isles. The first volume gives a critical and historical account of every known English-language play, with an evaluation of the leading actors. The second volume gives biographies of every dramatist who had worked in the English and Irish theatres. An important reference, and scarce on the market. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM37879
