Beschreibung

Contemporary diced russia, decorative gilt borders to boards and decorated compartments on spine, leather spine-label misspelling "Quales", 8vo, 19 cm, lxiv, 332 pp, portrait frontispiece. Uncommon. In the preliminary "Advertisement" leaf to Dibdin's extremely rare 1809 second edition (which is not in Windle & Pippin) Dibdin refers to "some hundred copies of this work having been sold" with Wolfe's name as editor, and in the Reminiscences (1836) he states " this book is now so scarce that I know not where a copy may be found". Dibdin took his pseudonym from the name of a Strasbourg printer who settled in London about 1557. His principal editorial contribution was to modernize the orthography. Rubbed and worn at extremities, some loss to head of spine, small scrapes and marks to rear board, some spotting and darkening to frontispiece and title-page, otherwise Good.
