Original o primera edición
Full Morocco. Condición: Near Fine. First Edition. Beautifully bound in full straight-grained red morocco by Morrell of London with gilt decoration, raised bands, turn-ins, marbled endpapers. Small 4to, 26 by 17 cm. vii, [9], 184 pp. 26 hand-colored plates. Clever humor verse and illustrations exploring various uses of the work "taking", such as taking bets, taking aim, taking advice, taking hints, taking notice, taking thought, taking courage -- a highly original treatment of a versatile, elastic word that surely is consequently elusive to the non-native speaker. Somehow not listed in Tooley. The artist, Richard Dagley, exhibited at the Royal Academy a number of times between 1785 and 1833. Condition: light wear to binding -- corners slightly rubbed. Light and very occasional foxing and other trivial soiling. Essentially clean and tight, and easily Near Fine.
