Hardcover. 8vo; xli, (1), 364 pages; Contents clean and complete, original tan calf boards with gilt borders, backstrip lacks c. 2" pieces at top and bottom of spine , boards well rubbed, hinges very tender. Former owners' names at top of titlepage -- "Presented to S. D. Collins / by her Father 1832 // John Page 1852"; "Page" also on front endpaper, otherwise contents clean and secure. Ann Daves Collins (1804-1848) was the grandaughter of Josiah Collins I (1735-1819) and daughter of Josiah Collins II (1763-1839) of Somerset Place Plantation. In the 1780s, three Edenton, North Carolina businessmen -- Nathaniel Allen, Samuel Dickinson, and Josiah Collins I -- formed a partnership known as the "Lake Company." This organization acquired over 100,000 acres of land in the area. Collins Sr. himself held an additional 60,000 acres east of the lake on the Alligator River. His son, Josiah II joined him in the various businesses. Between 1790 and 1816, there was some turmoil in the financial affairs of the members of the Lake Company, eventually resulting in Josiah Collins I amassing all of the land into his single private estate. At his death in 1819, Josiah I willed a life estate in all of the lake property to his son, Josiah II. In 1848, the year Ann Daves Collins died, her youngest sister Henrietta Elizabeth Collins (1820-1868) married Dr. Matthew Page (1801-1853), son of John Page of Pagebrook, Clarke Co. Virginia. The John Page who took possession of this book in 1852 is most likely Matthew Page's nephew John Yates Page (1827-1911), son of Matthew's brother Dr. John Evelyn Page (1796 - 1881), who was a judge and also resided at Pagebrook in Clarke County, Virginia. A volume with American historic association, worthy of rebacking or clamshell. Robert Potter (1721â"1804) was an English clergyman of the Church of England and a translator, poet, critic and pamphleteer. Potter established the convention of using blank verse for Greek hexameters and rhymed verse for choruses. During the last quarter of the 18th century, Potter completed annotated English translations from the Greek of the plays of Ãschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles that remained in print throughout the 19th century. Potter's scheme of using blank verse for Greek hexameters and rhymed verse for the choruses was widely adopted by translators.
