Author: STERNE (Laurence):
Title: A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy, By Mr. Yorick; and the History of a Good Warm Watch-Coat, &c. A Political Romance,
Description: Paris: Sold by Theophilus Barrois, Bookseller Quai des Augustins, no. 18, 1783. 12mo, pp. [iii] - xx, 205 [206 blank], including half-title, contemporary sheepskin; worn, rubbed and dried. Pages [vii] - xx contain "Some Account of the Life and Writings of Mr. Sterne." A second edition was published in the same year, "Second edition., Revised by M. D***.." Barrois was one of the publishes of the first French edition in English, which he and J. N. Pissot published in 1780, printed by J. G. A Stoupe. Copac gives a pagination of xx, 205; this copy may lack a blank leaf before the half-title, as the leaf following the title-page, with the account of Sterne's life is signed aiv. However, the last leaf in the text is a singleton, signed K, and that probably accounts for the error in pagination, with leaf K having been printed with the preliminary material.
