Richardson, William. ESSAYS ON SHAKESPEARE'S DRAMATIC CHARACTERS OF RICHARD THE THIRD, KING LEAR, AND TIMON OF ATHENS. London: for J. Murray, 1784. 6.25" x 3.75". [6], vi ,[1], 4-170 pp., with errata pasted at foot of final leaf, this copy bound without the two final ad leaves at end. Bound in early full calf. ******************** One of Richardson's various books on the subject of Shakespeare from the last quarter of the 18th century. This copy was likely bound uniformly with other books by Richardson at some early point (hence the "2" in gilt on the spine) but the present is a complete work unto itself. ESTC T136684. – From the collection of Scott Murphy.

Binding intact and with minimal wear. Early ink signature to title, a few corner creases, else a very clean copy. Very Good.
