Waller, 1748. Engraved portrait frontispiece of the author. Slim 8vo, 84pp lightly soiled; 3/4 calf-backed marbled boards, spine scuffed.First and only edition, proving that Shakespeare had a good deal more knowledge than Ben Jonson thought. Whalley also analyzes Shakespeare's imaginative use of this knowledge. Consequently, this short essay is one of the more innovative expositions on or about Shakespeare produced in the eighteenth century.

On both the title-page and underneath the portrait of Whalley, there is an early ink notation that the author was a native of Rugby, Warwickshire.
