William St. Clair's copy, with his pencilled ownership inscription and manuscript note to FEP.

The selection includes, inter alia, poems by Addison, Pope, and Gay, and short prose extracts from the Spectator and the works of Tillotson and Burnet. The 'Original pieces' are ascribed, in earlier editions, to J.N. William St. Clair (1937-2021), British scholar and senior civil servant, notable as the author of The Godwins and the Shelleys, The Biography of a Family (1989) and The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period (2004). All editions are remarkably scarce, with this being no exception; ESTC records copies at only two locations in the British Isles (BL and Oxford), and none elsewhere. ESTC T119230. Size: 12mo.
