About This Item

London: W Griffin, 1772. Disbound. Very Good. 8" by 5". None. A very early edition of this comedic play by Richard Cumberland. With half title. Disbound, as is common with this work. This copy has been printed the same year that the play had its premier at the Drury Lane Theatre in January 1772. This is a New edition of the play, with an engraved title page. There has been a misprint to the title page, where the plate is askew and therefore from the cropping the 'R' of lover is lost. The Fashionable Lover is a sentimental comedy, which follows the adventures of Augusta Aubrey after she leaves her ward's house. She is then nearly seduced by the villainous Lord Abberville. Disbound. Externally, smart with a few marks. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright with just the odd light spots. Very Good
