CATULLUS, PROPERTIUS, TIBULLUS. - Catulli Tibulli Propertii Opera

Londini Typis J. Brindley 1749. 12mo (in 6s), 120 x 72 mms., pp. [ii], 132, 120, engraved title-page before printed title-page, contemporary polished tree calf, small gilt border on covers, spine ornately gilt to an urn motif, red morocco label. A fine copy, with the book label of Lt. General Adams (possibly Thomas Adams, 1730? - 1764) on the front past-down end-paper. The text was edited by Usher Gahagan (d. 1749), the Irish classical scholar. He edited a number of Brindley's classical imprints, all beautifully printed and often in fine bindings. Alas for scholarship: he was hanged on 20 February 1749, for "diminishing the coin of the realm" by filing small pieces off gold and silver coins.
