A propos de cet article

Half calf over marbled boards, VG. vi+148pp, booksellers ticket of Thomas Miller of Dundee to the pastedown, a previous owner has added 'Hamilton of Bangour' in ink to the title, a nice clean near fine copy.

A subsequent reprint by the same printers is called The second edition. To my copy of this in 1749 there is prefixed an anonymous head of the Author engraved from the portrait by Gavin Hamilton at Rome'. Poems of the Scottish Jacobite poet William Hamilton [ 1704 - 1754 ] which were published in Scotland is his absence by friends whilst he was in exile in France following the Battle of Culloden. The preface, by Adam Smith, is Smith's first published work. 250 grams.…
