Description from the seller
POPE (Alexandre)
Diverse works.
Amsterdam and Leipzig, at Arkstée & Merkus, 1767.
8 volumes in-12 (17 x 10 cm), purple calf (period binding), smooth back ornamented, title and vol. labels in morocco, triple gold filet framing the boards, gilt filet on the edges, [2]-lx-343 ; [4]-iv-358 ; [4]-352 ; [2]-ii-418 ; [4]-iv-396 ; [4]-xii-392 ; [4]-xii-451 ; [4]-xv-[1]-364 pages (Complete). Corners and head-pieces rubbed, head-pieces worn in volume IV, lack of angular leather on the lower board of volume II. Generally good condition.
New edition of the translation by Élie de Joncourt, “revised and augmented with a large number of pieces that had not yet been translated.” The last three volumes contain Pope’s letters, and notably his correspondence with Jonathan Swift. The illustrations consist of a frontispiece after Delamonce and a portrait of the author engraved by Körnlein, twenty-three plates hors texte engraved in copperplate, “probably by the same artist” according to Cohen, except seven signed Frankendaal and two title ornaments repeated on the first six volumes and one more for the last two,
A pleasant copy.
