Author: [GLOVER (Richard)]:
Title: Leonidas. A Poem. The Third Editon.
Description: London: Printed for R. Dodsley..., 1738. 12mo, 164 x 97 mms., pp. [iii] - xxii, 262 [263 Errata, 264 - 268 blank], 19th century half green morocco, marlbed boards, gilt spine. red leather label; lacks half-title, binding a little worn, but a good to very good copy. Hardly anyone seems to read this epic poem, which I rather liked when I first read it many years ago (don't ask). Jonathan Swift wrote to Pope on 31 May 1737, "Pray who is that Mr. Glover, who writ the Epic Poem called Leonidas, which is re-printing here, and hath great vogue."
