Description

First Edition, First Issued Edition. The Rothschild catalogue states that “two editions of this book, one altered from the original, probably by John, Henry Fielding’s blind half-brother, were printed in January 1755. The unedited version, which was printed first, was suppressed in favor of the edited text, but was issued later in response to the demand promoted by the Lisbon earthquake.” This is the text which was issued first. With the half-title as called for, woodcut initials and head-pieces. 12mo., bound in contemporary polished calf, the spine with raised bands gilt ruled, the covers with double gilt fillet rules at the borders. [iv], xvii, [1]blank], [19]-240, 193-228 pp. [Correct as called for]. A very well preserved copy, handsome with a bit of wear from age at the tips and edges.
