HERBERT, Edward. The Life of Edward Lord Herbert of Cherbury. Written by Himself. London: J. Dodsley, 1770. Second edition. Engraved fold-out portrait frontispiece. (Browning, offsetting to title, toning.) [Bound with:] Edward HERBERT. A Dialogue Between A Tutor and His Pupil. London: W. Bathoe, 1768. (Title browned.) 4to (228 x 179mm.) Contemporary calf, red morocco lettering piece to the spine (heavily rubbed, some loss to upper cover). Note: Edward was the elder brother to the poet George.

Provenance: A.L.S. (bookplate to the front pastedown); E. Richmond Swales (ink inscribed verso the front-free endpaper). – And a further two volumes (Michael Bryan’s ‘A Biographical and Critical Dictionary of Painters and Engravers’, 2 vols., 1816, 4to) (3).
