About this Item
viii, 190pp. With a half-title. Contemporary gilt-tooled speckled calf, black morocco lettering-piece. Rubbed, slight loss to head of spine. Marbled endpapers. 'Hester Deane / a token of Friendship from / The Rev. Dr. Benson / 1800'. The revised, second edition of antiquary Edward King's (1734/5-1807) devotional verse. First published anonymously in 1780, the King's preface to this edition makes clear his reasoning for claiming authorship: 'finding.that the work had been attributed to other;- and finding also that, in consequence of my neglect to have the Book duly entered at Stationer's Hall, advantage had been taken, to publish it by strangers; I have now thought it even a duty to come forwards. One, or more surreptitious Editions have been printed;- with several Errata;- with an unauthorised, and improper Advertisement on the back of the Title page, concerning an intended Publication, which might have been understood to have been written by me.' ESTC T146287. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # AQ14626
