Binding lightly stained and soiled, extremities a touch worn. Armorial bookplate of J.C. Gaisford St Lawrence to front pastedown, flyleaf inscribed ?With the Editor?s best respects? A schoolbook edition of the Acharnians, edited by Thomas Mitchell (1783-1845), who had earlier published an important English translation of Aristophanes?s comedies. This copy was presented by Mitchell, probably to Thomas Gaisford (1779-1855), dean of Christ Church - Mitchell lived in Oxfordshire - though the bookplate is of Gaisford?s grandson Commander J. C. Gaisford St Lawrence (1862-1932), who had adopted his mother?s surname for reasons of inheritance, she being sole child of the third earl of Howth. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4657
