[ John Britton, antiquary. ] Proofs of the title-page and dedication page of his 'Memoir of John Aubrey, F.R.S.', corrected in autograph.

The two pages are on the rectos of a 4to bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, and with two horizontal creases. Four minor proof directions by Britton to title-page, together with the words 'Wood Cut'; and the emendation of 'Marquis' to 'Marquess' in the dedication. The title differs in minor ways from the published version: 'Memoir of John Aubrey, F.R.S. (born 1626, died 1697) Embracing his Autobiographical Sketches, a brief Review of his Personal and Literary Merits, and A Particular Account of his Manuscript Works: Also, Extracts from his Correspondence, and Anecdotes of some of his Contemporaries and of his Times; With a Portrait, Horoscope, and View of his Birthplace.' The woodcut vignette is not present on the title-page.
