Provenance: Michael Wodhull (1740–1816; book collector and poet, with his note of purchase from ‘Payne’s sale’ for £ 2 6s and binding cost of £5 5s, incorrectly added up as £8 12s, signed and dated 22 December 1770 -- in the sale of his library, Sotheby, London, 11 January 1886, lot 38: 'red morocco with Wodhull arms in gold on sides', cost 7/-) – S.A. Thompson Yates (ex libris; newspaper cutting at end describing the 1886 sale).
THE WODHULL--THOMPSON YATES COPY. A greatly respected classicist, Wodhull assisted Edward Harwood with the fourth edition of his View of the Classics (1790), which is dedicated to him, and Dibdin with the third edition of his Introduction to the Classics (1808). He himself was the first translator into English of all the extant writings of Euripides. He owned nine editions of Aeschylus, binding this one with his arms in spectacular style. Adams A-270; Brunet I, 78; Sorgeloos 10.
