The work was first published in London in 1769. ESTC No.: T146145. With Volume II only of John Brown's An Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the Times, published by L. Davis and C. Reymers, 1758. This imprint corresponds to the seventh edition of Brown's work. Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright and essayist, and one of the leading literary figures of 18th century Britain. He is best remembered for The Vicar of Wakefield, The Deserted Village and the comedy She Stoops to Conquer. John Brown (1715-1766) was an English clergyman, essayist and moralist. His Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the Times offered a highly critical assessment of contemporary British society.

Previous bookseller's discreet label to front paste down of vol I of "Rome." Contemporary ownership inscription to paste downs of "Rome." Discolouration from binder's glue to endpapers of "Rome." Bookplate of Joseph Tasker to front free endpaper of "Manners." Internally, firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean, if slightly age toned. Light soiling to first and last few leaves.
