1774

brought out in 1774, are pretty volumes—for Spain—and the engraved title-pages, with doves, clouds, garlands, torch, and lyre, remind us of attractive Parisian volumes of poetry by fashionable versifiers. The simple pages of poetry, without decorations, strike a comparatively modern node. Sancha published many such agreeable books.
