TO THE MEMORY OF A LADY LATELY DECEASED. A monody The second edition.
Published by London: printed for A. Millar over-against Catharine-Street in the Strand; and sold by M. Cooper at the Globe in Pater-noster Row, 1748
Seller: Christopher Edwards ABA ILAB, Henley-on-Thames, OXON, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Folio, pp. [iv], 15; complete with the half title; disbound. 'Second edition'. There were two printings of the first edition, of uncertain order, but this seems to be a reimpression of the second of those (Foxon L338), although sheet C corresponds to the other printing. This anomaly is difficult to explain with any certainty. The poem was first advertised in October, 1747; this second edition, although dated 1748, was available for sale before the end of the year. Foxon L339; Sale, Richardson, 357.
