Sterne (Laurence)] A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy. By Mr. Yorick, 2 vol., first edition, vol.1 variant 2 with "vous" on p.150 and vol.2 variant 1 "who have" on last line of p.133, half-titles, list of subscribers, with the rare loosely inserted advertisement leaf bound after title in vol.1 (usually lacking), engraved coat-of-arms in text, very lightly browned, vol.1 also with engraved portrait of Jens Baggesen bound in as frontispiece and note in pencil "Baggesinian" and another in Danish on front free endpaper, engraved bookplate of Lord Gray, contemporary calf-backed marbled boards, spines gilt in compartments with red and tan morocco labels, rubbed, spines a little worn, repairs to joints and spine ends, preserved in modern marbled board slip-case, tan morocco label "Baggesiniana. Yorick's Labyrint" on spine, [Rothschild 1972], small 8vo, for T.Becket and P.A. de Hondt, 1768. ⁂ Jens Baggesen (18764-1826), Danish writer who was greatly influenced by Sterne. His poem Labyrinten is reflected in the label "Yorick's Labyrint" on the spine of the slip-case, a delightful obfuscation by the Danish owner combining Baggesen's title with Sterne's.
