Bookseller Notes

The Duke of Portland (presumably) has scrawled on the fly-leaf opposite the half-title; 'Most extraordinary & most stupid Nonsense !!, which to this cataloguer seems a fair summary. It is, at any rate, a nice piece of printing by a follower of Baskerville, Swinney - letter founder, printer, and bookseller. 5 copies only in ESTC, 3 in England, 2 in Wales (including Gladstone's Library).

Description
