Item description from seller

[12]. Folio. Lacking Numbers 48 & 72. Old ink splashes to Numb. 45, top corner Numb. 57 torn with loss of text, some ink calculations & minor marks in margins, inner front joint worn with some tears to gutter margin. Contemporary panelled calf, rebacked & re-cornered, later e.ps & pastedowns; abrasions to boards. 'During the first two decades of his printing career, Samuel Richardson was associated with seven journals: The True Briton(1723–1724),The Plain Dealer(1724–1725),The Daily Journal(1721–1737),The Prompter(1734–1736),The Daily Gazetteer(1735–1746),The Weekly Miscellany(1733–36), andThe Citizen(1739). Since anonymous publication in this period was a closely guarded secret between writers and printers. the only recorded attribution by early commentators to identify Richardson's anonymous contributions, one to theTrue Briton, is found in John Nichols'sLiterary Anecdotes, where in a footnote he states that 'it seems highly probable that the sixth [No. 6 (June 21, 1723)] was written by himself as it is much in his manner'. Although earlier Richardson scholars have dismissed this attribution, after a more thorough examination of this journal, I found grounds for suspecting that this and at least 11 other issues owe something to this printer.' ref: John A. Dussinger. Samuel Richardson as Anonymous Editor and Printer. 2024.…
