About This Item
London: Printed for J. Wiston, and B. White..., 1756. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 193 x 118 mms., pp. xix [xx Errata],146, rebound in 20th century quarter calf, gilt spine, marbled boards, red morocco label. A very good copy. John Fry, writing here about a man's marriage to the sister of a wife who has died, argues that a prohibition against such marriages was untenable and that it was "fit and proper" for a widower to do so. John Wesley had a copy of the work in his colletion with an inscription, almost certain in his hand, "an excellent treatise." Ellen Pollack, "Guarding the Succesion of the (E)State: Guardian-Ward Incest and the Dangers of Representation" in Delarivierer Manley's The New Atlantis (The Eighteenth Century), 1998,
