Seller's Description:
Near Fine. No Jacket. This is a Near Fine copy of a late-18th century edition of Macpherson's famous pseudo-Gaelic work, a cycle of poems (supposedly from the oral tradition) that he began to publish in the 1760s. No Title Page, The volume has been reound in leather (possibly 19th or early 20th century) with gilt lettering and lines; a very attractive job, but the Title Page has been ommitted and the Preface was bound out of order! The Preface, which is highly critical of Macpherson, is dated 1792, and claims to be an improvement on the edition of 1773, due to its "good paper, elegant type, and half its former price." VERY RARE. No copies of this edition appear in WorldCat, BL, LOC, or TCD. Quercus believes this to be a two-volume set that has been republished in one. (If so, the 1792 publisher is G. Mudie, et. al. ) This is really a lovely book. The text is clean, fresh, and supple, easy to read. 457 pages; minimal foxing and very light occasional staining. Size: 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall.
