Bookplates of Thomas M. Lowndes and Henry Drury. Very good. With a fore-edge painting depicting a scene of HAWICK, ROXBURGHSHIRE, SCOTLAND, after an engraving by John Greig (fl. 1800-1843) from an original study by Luke Clennell (1781-1840). The fore-edge painting is based on an engraving found in Sir Walter Scott's, Border Antiquities of England and Scotland (Longman & Co., 1814-1817). This well-painted scene is likely of 20th century vintage. / The Dutch scholar Peter Burman was professor of the art of rhetoric and the history of Utrecht, and also of Greek philology. In 1715, he succeeded Perizonius, receiving the chair of history and the Greek language and the art of rhetoric at the Lyon-Batava Academy. Later he was librarian and director of the Lyon-Batava Academy. This is his commentary on Phaedrus, which was originally issued in 1698. PROVENANCE: Thomas M.
