Description

First edition, viii, [2], 117pp., with engraved title-page, a little foxed and stained, final line of imprint cropped, text occasional spotted and lightly browned, marbled endpapers, cont. full straight-grained red morocco, gilt border on sides, flat spine, gilt, extremities a little rubbed. Dibdinís rare suppressed first separate publication, being preceded only by his contribution to the ëEuropean Magazineí. Dibdin did not think much of his first effort as he emphatically stated in his ëBibliomaniaí ìI struck off 500 copies, and was glad to get rid of half of them as waste paper; the remaining half have been partly destroyed by my own hands. My only consolation is that the volume is now exceedingly rareî. Jackson, 1; Windle & Pippin, A1.
