Description

12mo, pp. 42 + frontispiece. Original tan paper wrappers printed in black. Some offsetting to title-page from frontispiece. Corners creased, wrappers somewhat soiled with small areas of loss, spine covering defective. A few marginal pencil marks.

Notes

A scarce Edinburgh-printed edition of Sheridan's 1779 play in original wrappers, advertising more plays to the rear wrapper priced at 6d each. Library Hub records just a single copy, at the NLS, from which we have dated this one, but their record does not record the frontispiece, which is sculpted by [John] Corbould and presents a view of act 1, scene 1.
