Wharton (J).

An Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope.

      London. for J Dodsley. , fourth edition, corrected. 1782 - Two volumes. 8vo. Bound in contemporary full calf with red lettering pieces. Volume one xiii plus 415 pages and volume two 423 pages. Occasional light to medium foxing but none that interferes with the readability of the text. The hinges of the binding are showing signs of wear but still held firm and the heads and tails of the spine are a little nicked. Both volumes contain the armorial bookplate of Ralph Leycester and his signature on the title pages, dated 1790. Overall it is a good readable copy. Photograph available.
