Notes

A neat set of P. Austin Nuttall's revision of John Stirling's 1751 edition of Horace in the publisher's binding. Unusually, this copy contains ads for itself to the pastedowns, advising that vols. 1, 3 and 4 can be had separate at 3s. a volume; those in vols. 2-4 have a typographical error corrected in ink. Library Hub records 6 holdings of this set, at Trinity College Dublin, Bl, NLS, NLW, Cambridge and St. Andrews.
