Demi-vélin à coins. Pièces de titre et de tomaison aux dos. Coiffes légèrement émoussées. Dos un peu frottés. Première traduction française donnée par l'abbé Prévost de ce roman du célèbre littérateur anglais Samuel Richardson qui était initialement imprimeur à Londres. Sans cet imprimeur petit-bourgeois typique de la Cité de Londres le développement du roman anglais et avec lui des romans européens eût sans doute été retardé de plusieurs années. Il en a donné la première formule en montrant les tensions psychologiques et morales chez des êtres dans une situation telle que leurs relations et tout leur psychisme sont le jeu de conflits terribles où s'affrontent les forces sociales et les exigences profondes des individus tant sentimentales que morales et religieuses. Rousseurs et taches éparses. Bon exemplaire. A Amsterdam, 1770. unknown
