Description:
London: Printed for W. Owen..., 1774. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. ix [x blank], 242 [243 - 244 adverts], including half-title, 19th century sheepskin, with spine severely wormed, but joints firm; probably a continental binding, to judge from the end-papers. Taylor (?1741 - 1797) is identified as the author of this work in two copies in the BL, with ms. attributions to him on the title-page. The work has also been attributed to William Richardson, Professor of Humanity at Glasgow, and Joseph Ritson. Richardson wrote four books on Shakespeare, and this volume seems unlikely to be by him; the style is certainly different, as is the conduct of the argument. The contemporary name of Susanna Taylor appears on the title-page and has been scored through with the next owner adding his or her name at the top of the title-page; one of these hands has made a few ms. corrections to Taylor's punctuation and capitalization.

Description:
London: Printed for W. Johnson..., 1765. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xiv, [vi], 573 [574 blank], contemporary calf (worn and rubbed); rear joint cracked, front cover detached, spine creased, ex-library. Not a wonderful copy physically, but it has two other attractive features: one leaf (probably A8) is present both in cancelled and uncancelled state. The cancellandum contains Postscript (recto) and Errata (verso), with the leaf cut from the bottom (and, alas, repaired with tape); this leaf is followed by what appears to be a doubleton with Postscript, 2 pp. contents, and Errata. An undated London Library sticker (with cancellation stamp!) is on the front paste-down end-paper: Life Membership was then available for £26. Heath's work is dedicated to Henry Home, Lord Kames; Heath approves of Theobald's emendations but is rather less enthusiastic about those of Warburton.
