Lucretius: : [...] De Rerum Natura [...]

4to. pp. [ii], 295, [i]. Endpapers spotted, affecting first and last leaf of text, otherwise clean. With a few pencilled marginalia. Tan calf tooled in gilt and blind, some minor wear but still a bright, attractive copy. Bookplate of the archivist Henry Hobhouse (1776-1854), keeper of state papers 1826-1854.

This is the first of two editions comissioned as prizes by John Keate, headmaster of Eton, which is presumably where Hobhouse received his copy as he was educated there. Taylor’s typography is clean and elegant, somewhat reminiscent of Baskerville’s., Brunet III, 1221.
