It is said to be the earliest publication of Baskerville, and all the care and attention of that ingenious printer were devoted to render it unrivalled. He secured his reputation by it; and though it has a few typographical errors, yet it is esteemed by all collectors, and is frequently converted into a repository for any curious or elegant design illustrative of the subject of the poet.
