About This Item

A Paris, & se trouve à Basle, chez Jean schwieghauser, 1770 Rare early edition of Pierre le Tourneur's translation of Young's Night Thoughts. Not in RLIN, OCLC or NUC. Mentioned (but not listed) in Forter's bibliography of foreign translations of Young (Book Collector 1971, pp. 47-67), though he later appears to have acquired a copy, as there is now one at the Bodleian Library in the Forster collection. Contemporary polished calf, gilt calf spine labels, batik endpapers, all edges gilt. . Two volumes in one, twelvemo, in eights and fours. Slight damage with old repair (affecting a small area of text) on Vol. I, pp. 63-4. Several ink numerals in preliminaries. Otherwise a very good, clean copy. Pierre le Tourneur's translation of Night Thoughts first appeared in 1769. This edition follows the Paris edition of 1770, and shows how widespread the demand for Young's poetry could be.

About Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
