****
The book: Rare early 17th-century Elzevir edition of Barclay's best-known work, the Argenis, a political romance, resembling in certain respects the Arcadia of Philip Sidney, and the Utopia of Thomas More. The book was completed about a fortnight before his death, which has been said to have been hastened by poison.
