Modern marbled boards, black leather spine labels, edges retaining earlier gilt. A bit of minor spotting. Gift inscription to retained binder's blank at front of vol. 2, dated 1807. An elegantly printed edition of Terence, reproducing the text of the 1726 Westerhovius edition. This copy was given to one William Wybergh by Matthew Raine, the headmaster of Charterhouse School, after Wybergh's graduation from that institution. Wybergh (b. 1787, at Charterhouse 1803-1806) was a member of an ancient Cumbrian family; he inherited Clifton Hall in Westmoreland, which had passed through unbroken male descent in the Wybergh family since the time of Edward III.
