Description:
London Printed by Charles Rivington, For John Rivington..., 1760, 1765. FIRST EDITIONS. 3 volumes. 8vo, pp. xcix [xcx Errata], 326; viii, 439 [440 Errata, 441 - 444 adverts]; xxxviii, 297 [298 blank], O1 in volume 2 in cancelled state, contemporary calf, spines ornately gilt in compartments, red and green morocco labels; lacking the engraved portrait of Hervey found in some issues of volume 1, slight wear to front joint volume 1, one label slightly chipped, tops and bases of spines a little worn, but generally a very good set. James Hervey (1714 - 1758) produced some of the most popular devotional writings of the 18th century: his Meditations and Contemplations (1746 - 1747) was probably reprinted more often in the second half of the 18th century than even Thomson's Seasons. Hervey's Calvinistic, evangelical sympathies did, however, provoke some attacks, which he seems to have been indifferent to. His answer to Wesley's criticism of his popular Theron and Aspasio (1755) was first…

Description:
Glasgow: Printed by J. and M. Robertson, 1792. 12mo (in 6s), pp. 604, with pp. 279 - 302 misnumbered as 179 - 202, contemporary sheepskin, gilt spine, red morocco label; upper front joint slightly cracked, top and base of spine chipped, corners worn, binding a little dried and rubbed. The anonymous editor observes in the Preface, that Hervey "seemed to make it almost an invariable rule, not to write a letter on any occasion, without at least some pious sentence in it..."; the pious sentences are balance by the more ordinary aspirations of writers, e. g., is a projected book likely to be published. ESTC on-line locates three copies of this edition: E; FMU and MBAt.

London: Printed for Richard Phillips..., 1805. 5 volumes. 12mo, pp. xx, 271 [272 blank]; [iv], 235 [236 blank], iv, 300; [iv], 344; iv, 286 [287 - 288 adverts], engraved portrait of Wilkes as frontispiece in volume 1, engraved facsimile in volume 3, engraved folding facsimile at end of volume 4 and at end of volume 5, contemporary half calf, marbled boards; front cover volume one detached, spine volume 1 defective, joints on other volumes cracked and holding on for dear life. In 1804, Longman had published 4 volumes of Wilkes's letters to his daughter, with an anonymous memoir of his life. Both sets were reviewed in the January, 1805 (X, 477 - 489) issue of The Edinburgh Review: "Of the two performances now before us, it would not perhaps be very easy to say which is the most insignificant. If Mr Almon's contains somewhat more of serious discussion, and of political recollections, it is only, we are afraid, because he has borrowed more freely from former publications than his…

Description:
London: Sold by T. Cadell..., 1771 - 1772. 3 volumes. 12mo, 158 x 97 mms., pp. xii, 176; [[ii], 151 [152 blank, 153 - 167, 168 blank]; [xii], 176, attractively bound in red morocco, with gilt roll borders surround a panel with gilt ornaments at each corners, spines ornately gilt to a lyre motif, black leather labels; joints and extremities a little rubbed, but a very good set, with the bookplate of William Thomson in each volume, and his autograph on the recto of the front free paper in each volume. The authenticity of the letters provoked doubts by the English reviewers, with The Monthly Review asserting that "We have our suspicions" but could not prove the letters to be forgeries, but "We grant, however, if these letters are forged, they are wrought by the hand of an artist; that the workmanship is rare; and that if it be not the manufacture of the person whose name is stamped upon it, it may, perchance, be something better."
