The Richmond Heiress: or, A Woman Once in the Right
London: D. Brown and W. Mears, 1718. 8vo. (6¼ x 3½in; 159 x 88mm) (lacks half-title), early 20th-century morocco-backed boards. Provenance: George William [?]Sarton (ownership inscription on title) -- Alphonsus Montague Summers (bookplate) -- J.W. Goldman (bookplate).
"Second edition" according to the title-page but in fact the third, following the editions of 1693 and 1694. A5 contains the text of "Shinken's song to the Harp: in Act IV". Shinken, having had his heart "wounded past all curing", is incapable of action, despite having been one of "the prettiest fellows/At Bandy once and cricket, At hunting-chace, or light-foot race, Gadsplut, how he could prick it". cf. Padwick 852.
