Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Folio. Full leather. Raised cords on the spine. Front cover detached but present. Rear cover attached by cords. Leather scuffed and worn. Binding tight, cracked at page 126/127, but cords remain strong & hold everything together. 670 pages. Pages toned from age but with only very mild foxing. Wide margins, overall good condition. There are two early bookplates on the inside front cover. On the top left corner is a small rectangular slip with the name "Langdon Cheve_" on it. Very likely this is Langdon Cheves, (1776-1857) who was a Congressman from South Carolina & the 8th Speaker of the House (from 1814-1815). The other bookplate is right in the center of the page. Printed decorations and name "Anthony Morris 1787" Handwritten above "No 205." A lovely example of a printed American bookplate from the Revolutionary generation. I am not sure about the identity of Morris (there have been prominent Morris's in the US since 1700), but there was an Anthony Morris in Philadelphia at this time, who joined the PA Bar Association in 1787, went into state politics, was Speaker of the PA Senate, and served as President Madison's envoy to Spain from 1810-1814.

1p., 4to. Bifolium. Fair, on aged paper. Addressed, with postmarks, on the reverse of the second leaf, 'To Mr William Strahan | Printer | New Street Fetter Lane | London'. He begins by reminding Strahan of his 'Promise to let me have one of the first and best copies of Mr Robertsons History of Charles the 5th now in the Press'. Home expects 'noble entertainment' from the book (published by Strahan in 1769), adding, confusingly, 'there are Ships from London to Yarmouth every week - I suppose I shall know next week how my application will be relished by these Eyes of the Church'. He ends 'Now you will not condescend to give me a little hint of the state of your Politics, buried as I am in this remote corner where there are no materials to make you the least return. I hope you are well. Adieu. I am affectionately yours | [signed] Home'. On 10 February 1768 Home had taken as his third wife Abigail-Browne (d.1814), daughter of John Ramey of Yarmouth.

1p., 4to. On aged paper, with damage and discoloration to one margin. Eliza Urquhart begins her letter: 'Gentlemen, | Mr Urquhart has desired me to acquaint you that he thinks it would be adviseable immediately to see Mr Spotswood [i.e. Spottiswoode, then an employee of the book's printer Andrew Strahan] on the subject of accelerating the printing of his work, as from the present tardiness with which the proofs are sent, he thinks the Season will inevitably be lost'. Her husband has, she continues, 'so often urged this point, when he returns the proofs, that he cannot with any propriety say more on the subject.' Davies 'may probably think it right, to suggest the necessity of greater expedition'. She ends by explaining that 'Mr Urquhart would have written but has noly lately been declared out of danger from a long & desperate fever'. At the head of the letter is a note, presumbaly by Davies, dated 7 May 1803, and reading: '2D will be sent by this day's Post and will be the fifth sheet sent this week. - There are between seven and eight sheets yet to send of which one will be sent every day.'.
