Published by J.Dickenson London 1733

Edition 1st?

Condition Very good

Page 18 blank, F1 signed. Foxon’s identification of this as the second of the five 1733 editions has been convincingly challenged by William B. Todd: it is probably the first. Disbound. Small scuffed hole, without loss, on final leaf. Later editions contain a second part which is generally ascribed to a different hand.
