WOLLSTONECRAFT (MARY)
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects, second or third edition, lower section of title-page restored with loss of imprint, modern calf-backed cloth, gilt lettered spine [ESTC T6723 or T140074], 8vo, [J. Johnson, 1792 or 1796]
Footnotes
Second or third edition of Mary Wollstonecraft's revolutionary work on feminism, education and human rights. The loss of the lower section of the title-page makes it impossible to determine if this is the second edition of 1792, with the author's revised dedication to Talleyrand but the same pagination as the first edition, or the 1796 third edition, which was the same as the second but with the title-page amended.
Provenance: Gilbert Coleridge, 1900, signature at head of title-page, and manuscript purchase note (also speculating on the edition) on the restored section below.
