Boards a little marked, spine covering partially-defective with areas of loss, particularly to head, some wear to corners. The privately-printed first appearance of Philip Yorke, Viscount Royston?s translation of the sole surviving poem popularly (although perhaps spuriously) attributed to grammarian and commentator Lycophron. ?in the summer of 1806, about 100 copies were printed, and, though the circulation was so limited, the extraordinary merit of the execution soon acquired him a reputation among the learned? (Pepys, Henry, ?The remains of the late Lord Viscount Royston?, London, 1838 pp. 8-9). The recipient of this copy presumably never read it, as it survives entirely unopened in its original boards. A posthumous trade edition followed in 1832, Royston having been lost at sea in 1808 at the age of 23.
