Beschreibung

First edition, 8vo, [4] 64pp, complete, a good + copy in later paper covers, some rubbing and chipping to the edges, the title page is browned with a previous owner's name, the pages are a bit dog eared. John Dart (d. 1730) was chiefly an antiquary; an amusingly unflattering entry for him in the old DNB characterizes his translation of Tibullus as 'a truly wretched paraphrase', although it admits that his topographical poem Westminster Abbey (1721) is 'still worse'.
