Addison, Joseph. REMARKS ON SEVERAL PARTS OF ITALY, & C. IN THE YEARS 1701, 1702, 1703. Jocob Tonson, London, 1705. First edition. Octavo. Original blind stamped paneled calf, beautifully rebacked and restored. New endleaves, retaining old armorial bookplate. Addison spent the year of 1701 in Italy, where he became very interested in the effects of Roman antiquities and scenery upon the Latin poets. Christian antiquities and the monuments of later Italian history held no apparent charm for the author. A pleasing, mellow volume.
