Owner's name and bookplate to inside front cover, no other markings, Very Good; no dust jacket.Olive green cloth, 203pp, no illus. The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia was supposedly written in order for Johnson to finance his mother’s funeral. He wrote it in only one week’s time, and earned between 75 and 100 pounds when he published it in 1759.
