Publication details: London: Printed for R. and J. Dodsley [...]1759,
Rare Book
An appealing copy of the second edition (first published 1757) of Burke's important treatise on aesthetics. 'His enduring achievement was to have tackled a difficult subject in a fashion accessible to any educated reade' (ODNB), and to produce a work which would have a profound impact - particularly on the Romantics and their conception of the sublime.
The odd light smudge but else a very clean copy; pp. ix, [7], 242, [2], 8vo; contemporary sprinkled calf, spine gilt in compartments with flower stamp; hinges tender and a couple of spots to the upper cover; ownership inscription to the title: Beatrice Wood.
