A propos de cet article

[4], iv, 443, [1]pp., plates, Initial blank, subscribers' list (557), engraved music to seven songs. 4to. Contemp. half calf, faded but readable printed paper label on front board for 'Bull's Public Library', red spine label; careful repairs. Manuscript inscription on leading pastedown: 'Bull's Library, Bath'; contemp. inscription on leading blank: 'G. Harries, Tregwynt' together with a sl. later pencil signature of J. Herries.

Bull's Library was the successor to Leake's, established by James Leake in the early 18th century and one of the first such libraries in Bath.

It was also at Bull's (and Frederick's - another Bath library) that Lydia Languish's maid (in Sheridan's play The Rivals) sought to find popular novels to read. (Circulating Libraries in Eighteenth Century Bath, V. J. Kite.) The Harries family, to whom this volume also belonged, had lived at Tregwynt Mansion, Pembrokeshire, since the 17th century. George Harries died in 1789 and it seems likely that the book was originally bought by the Harries family before being sold (or given) to the library after his death. Sadly, this would mean that the volume was not present for the French invasion of 1797 which took place just a few miles from Tregwynt Mansion. On the night of the French landing (which failed as quickly as it had begun) the leader of the local militia was dining with Eliza Harries (George's widow) at Tregwynt. …
