A View of Society and Manners in Italy with Anecdotes relating to some Eminent Characters. In two volumes

London: A Strahan and T Cadell, 1787. Fourth edition in most attractive contemporary binding of half polished calf over marbled boards with morocco spine labels. Both volumes have the book label of 'T Barton' and laid in 3 armorial bookplates of 'Kerrison'. Volume I has lost the top 2cm of the title page where a previous owner has neatly removed an earlier ownership inscription. A clean fresh copy internally. Moore, a Scottish medic by training, wrote the letters after undertaking a Grand Tour in the company of the youthful 8th Duke of Argyll. 1787
