Satires and Biography by Anthony Pasquin Esq.

Descripción

6 separate tracts in in volume with general title page engraved and with vignette by Bartolozzi as above, uncut in later 19th century half maroon morocco, spine gilt ruled with raised bands, marbled sides, main title page lightly waterstained at edge and laid down with a blank corner restored, minor rubbing to binding, a very good copy throughout, FIRST OR EARLY COLLECTED EDITION; there were evidently several such early collective editions of Pasquin's notorious satires, issued by Lackington or Symonds or both, but all collections are very rare. This one corresponds to a Cambridge issue dated to circa 1805, though it is probably earlier judging from the dates of the individual parts which were, of course, all issued separately and in various editions. The collection comprises: 1. The New Brighton Guide, 6th edion, 1796 [with engraved vignette title page]. 2. A Looking-glass for the Royal Family. 1797 [with etched frontispiece, lightly wtarestined to first margins]. 3. Shrove Tuesday, 1790. 4. A Crying Epistle from Brittania to Colonel Mack, ., new edition [1794?]. 5. The Life of the late Earl of Barrymore . 3rd edion, 1793. [with sepia etched portrait] 6. Legislative biography . 1795.
