A few leaves roughly opened, but a truly spectacular set in publisher's original bindings with bright gilt; largely unopened, tightly bound, pages and plates virtually pristine. Hazen (Strawberry Hill), p. 66. Lowndes V, p. 2820. Originally published in 1762, this revised edition, based on an edition issued between 1826 and 1828 ("with considerable additions") edited by the antiquarian James Dallaway, is the first with notes by Ralph N. Wornum. Late in life, Walpole, 4th Earl of Oxford, described the Anecdotes as "the only thing I ever published of any use." It was mainly based on the archives (40 volumes of manuscripts relating to English painters, sculptors, engravers, and architects) that Walpole purchased in 1758 from the widow of engraver George Vertue, which Walpole later wrote contained "an infinite quantity of new and curious things."
