It is a very clean and good copy. Woodward (16571712) was, as John Spurr writes in his Oxford DNB entry, "an effective publicist and prolific author in the cause of moral reformation. On 28 December 1696 he preached one of the earliest surviving sermons before the Society for the Reformation of Manners, and he was to be its first historian. He published An Account of the Rise and Progress of the Religious Societies in the City of London, which survives appended to his collection of sermons An earnest admonition to all, but especially to young persons (1697), as well as in a 'second enlarged edition' of 1698.

"The Book of the Courtier" is the usual translation of Libro del Cortigiano, published by Castiglione (1478 - 1529) published in 1528 but many years in the composition. The first version in English was by Thomas Hoby in 1561, and the work was widely reprinted in numbers translations and in the original Italian for two or three centuries. Bartholomew Clerke (1537 - 1590) translated the work into Latin in 1572, with three subsequent editions published in 1585, 1593, and 1603.

Londra: Per Giogrio Woodfall..., 1752. FIRST EDITION. 4to, 294 x 231 mms., pp. 12, 311 [312 blank], 19th century half calf, marbled boards, neatly rebacked at some stage, title in gilt on spine.

Thorne records, "made his reputation as a man of letters, and was reprinted several times both in England and in Italy. It consists of nineteen chapters each dealing with one aspect of la vita civile; aspects ranging from education and the duties of family life, through industry, art, and science, laws and methods of government, to la vita felice, and it ends - inevitably for a foreigner in…

London: Printed for T. Cadell..., 1785. FIRST EDITION. 3 volumes. 8vo, 178 x 110 mms. pp. [iii] - xix [xx blank], 261 [262 blank]; [ii], 250; [ii], 255 [256 blank], attractively bound in full contemporary calf, ornate gilt borders on covers, neatly rebaccked with spine richly and ornately gilt in compartments, black leather labels laid down, marbled edges and end-papers; lacks half-titles, some very slight flaws to binding but a very good to near fine set.
