LOT 3121
BOWDLER, Thomas (editor). The Family Shakespeare… in which nothing is added to the original text; but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown, 1823. 8 vols., third edition, signed by the editor, 8vo (214 x 131mm.) (Toning, occasional light spotting.) Near contemporary red calf, two black morocco lettering pieces to the spine, gilt borders and blind-stamped emblem to covers, gilt turn-ins (some surface loss to covers, rubbing to extremities, sunning to spines). Note: signed 'from the author' but it was Bowdler's sister Henrietta Maria Bowdler who did most of the editing. Provenance: E. Hardwick (ink inscribed on the initial blank); the property of Michael Godfrey (8).
