Description
Item Description:	Engraved frontispiece portrait of Earl of Shaftesbury is signed: "J. Closterman pinx., Sim: Gribelin sculp."; vignette and head-pieces also signed: "S. Gribelin sculp." in volume 1. Engraved title vignettes and head-pieces. Individual title page in each volume with imprint "Printed in the year M.DCC.XXVIII" (volume 1) or "Printed in the year M.DCC.LXXIII" (volumes 2-3); general title page in 1st volume only. Pagination: volume 1: iv, [4], 364 pages, [1] leaf of plates; volume 2: 176, [2], 181-443, [3] pages; volume 3: [4], 410, [48] pages. Signatures: volume 1: A⁴(+1) chi² B-D⁸ E⁸(+[E]²) F-K⁸ 2chi² L-P⁸ Q⁴ [Q]⁴ R-Y⁸ Z⁸(-Z8); volume 2: A⁴ B-L⁸ M⁸(+[M]²) N-Z⁸ 2A-2E⁸ (E8 blank); volume 3: pi² A² B-Y⁸ Z⁸(+2) 2A-2B⁸ Bb1 B⁸ 2C-2H⁴. This edition consists of at least two states: one without errata leaf (presumably the first state) and one with errata leaf inserted at end of volume 3. Errata indicates that the edition is actually the seventh, not fifth as stated on title page. Index: page [1]-[48], 3rd sequence of volume 3. The Cushing Library/Rare Books copy was acquired as part of the Lois Goddard Morrison Collection of Eighteenth Century Literature. The Cushing Library/Rare Books/Morrison Collection copy lacks errata, thus of the first state.
