VI 6.624 complessive con 40 incisioni fuori testo compreso il ritratto dell'A. posto in antiporta al primo volume. Uno degli autori classici italiani fra i più prolifici e popolari del settecento; fu poeta librettista musicale tanto da essere considerato il riformatore del melodramma italiano e drammaturgo di raffinata ed eccellente qualità. Trattò nelle sue opere temi classici e sempre riconducibili a valori indirizzati alla virtù all'amicizia alla fedeltà e all'eroismo. Tentò seppur solo in tre delle sue numerosissime commedie Catone in Utica Didone abbandonata e Attilio Regolo di uscire dagli obbligati schemi del lieto fine ma questa scelta coraggiosa lo espose a pesanti critiche forse le uniche che lo colpirono durante la sua lunga carriera Mantova, Tipi dell'Erede Pazzoni unknown

A pupil of John Nash he took over his teacher's practice and became government architect for the first half of Victoria's reign. He was responsible for the planning of new streets the laying out of parks and the design of important public buildings such as the Public Record Office the west wing of Somerset House and the Duchy of Cornwall office.
