Seller's Description:
8vo, pp. [iv], 5-90, [ii], 34. Bound in little worn contemp calf, rebacked. Illustrated with three small engravings. This is the first publication to carry Roscoe's name. Roscoe was a pioneer in the study of Italian culture in England. Tansillo's "The Nurse" was written to encourage women to suckle their own children. Praised highly in "Public Characters" of 1798-9. Roscoe's contribution to this work is quite extensive, including a preface, a sonnet and notes. The poem is printed in parallel Italian and English and was a protest against the misuse of nurses.
