Beschreibung

Copenhagen, Kongelige wäysen-huses bogtrykkerie, (1764). 8:o. 8,1-366 pp. Nice contemporary half calf, somewhat worn, with raised bands, richly gilt spine, tan label and marbled edges. Rear joint starting at bottom and with minor wormhole at top, rear upper corner with minor damage. Dampstaining in parts. Old signature and cut dedication on title. Bibliotheca danica I:297. The original "The ladies calling" first published in 1673. The authorship of this book has always been disputed but most likely the author is found within a royalist group of writers with the pious Lady Dorothy Pakington at its centre. Some of her contemporaries believed her to be the author, but today the work is usually attributed to the churchman and provost of Eton College Richard Allestree. Diderich de Thurah (1704-88) was a naval officer and also active as a translator. He translated theological works by James Blair, Isaac Newton and William Sherlock, among others.
