The last of William Sandby's attractively-printed editions of Latin authors - his Horace was compared favourably to Pine's - all produced with engraved illustrations and in two settings usually in different formats (octavo and duodecimo), sometimes also with different engravings between the versions. This is the smaller setting of the Juvenal, described as a duodecimo but signed in eights.
