Description
Pp.279-304: The Three Epistles of Aulus [i.e. Angelus] Sabinus: in answer to as many of Ovid.
The translation of Sabinus appears identical with that of the "fourth" edition; the part title-page for the Epistles does not, as in the "fourth" edition give any imprint.
In the "fourth edition, the only translation [of "Sapho to Phaon"] is one by Sir Carr. Scrope, which in the eighth edition precedes the one by Pope.
Three Epistles translated by Mr. Salusbury.
Preface by John Dryden.
Engraved frontispiece, and engraved plates illustrating the text.
Indexed in: Case 165 (h), with the irregularities there noted, and p.170 and 242 misnumbered 29 and 252 respectively; Griffith 4. "Here printed for the first time (pp.7-20): Sapho to Phaon. Wholly translated. By Mr. Pope.".
