First Scottish edition, which includes, among others, poems from Gray's most famous work, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (1751). For this edition, the Foulis brothers had Alexander Wilson cut a special font of double pica roman type. Updike, Printing Types, II: 143. Foulis publications "are now much sought after as admirable specimens of typography, and are noticeable for their severely plain elegance. . . The works produced by it are quite entitled to rank with the Aldines, Elzevirs, Bodonis, Baskervilles, which are all justly renowned for the varied excellencies they possess, but no provincial, and certainly no metropolitan, press in [Scotland] has ever surpassed that of the two brothers" The Library, March 1889, p. 95. 4to. [4], 63pp., [1]. Gaskell 475 (common paper variant without "*" which Gaskell notes is "a much rarer book than the fine [variant]"). Northup 56. ESTC T127821. Very good minus in handsome modern full blindstamped calf with new endpapers by Dragonfly Bindery, toning and brittle front free endpaper with prior owner name, contents generally clean with tear to leaf, professional repair to title page not affecting text, scattered light foxing, still a pleasing copy.…
