Hopkins (Charles) The History of Love. A Poem: In a Letter to a Lady, first edition, early ownership inscription of John Homer Cooper to half-title & G2, half-title also with ownership name "Martha" repeated, few instances of ink passage-marking, some light browning, contemporary sheep, some wear to spine and corners, rubbed and scuffed, [Wing H2724], 8vo, J. Dawks, for Jacob Tonson, 1695.
