[pamphlet] Seven Letters written by Sterne and his Friends, hitherto unpublished. Edited by W. Durrant Cooper, F.S.A.

8vo, vii + 23 pp. Stitched as issued. Text clear and complete. Internally sound, tight and clean; spotting to first and last leaves, with a gummed strip of white paper strengthening the spine. Thin strip along head of title removed, presumably for presentation or ownership inscription. One annotation and two corrections in a contemporary hand. Dedicated by Durrant to John Thomas Wharton of Skelton Castle, 'Bloomsbury Square, London, July 1844.' Three pages of notes at end. Long letter by Tollot, in French. Two Sterne letters, 1764 and 1766, both to Stevenson. Includes the poems 'Lines upon a Yorkshire lady lately married, by Panty Lascelles', 'Reply to same, by J. H. Stevenson', and 'To the Duke of Dorset' (anonymous). A scarce piece of Sterniana: five copies on COPAC: at the Bodleian and British Library, the Society of Antiquaries, Victoria and Albert Museum and York Minster.
