Provenance: each volume with the engraved armorial bookplate of Samuel W. Lambert and ex librus of Water Thomas Wallace on front paste down. THREE VERY FINELY BOUND FIRST EDITIONS. The Syntax "Tours" feature a pedantic clergyman and schoolmaster encountering one after another of amusing misadventures in the course of his travels. Told through a combination of Combe's comic verses and Rowlandson's caricatures, these misfortunes constituted one of the most popular literary publications of the 19th century. "Combe's first Dr. Syntax book (originally published in the Poetical Magazine in 1809) and its successors . . . satirize the many 18th- and early 19th-century writers whose "Tours," "Travels," and "Journeys" were vehicles for sententious moralizing, uninspired raptures, and sentimental accounts of amorous adventures. The popularity of Combe's work owed much to the illustrations of Thomas Rowlandson." (Britannica). Abbey, Life, 265-67; Tooley 427-29.

Ackerman's Repository of Arts No. 101 Strand date 1820 or 1821. Printed on cream wove paper, light foxing on front pages and versos of some engravings, some plate offsetting, else clean and bright.

[Tooley 415; Abbey Travel 89; ]. A complete specimen (with advertisement at end) of this humorous and engaging social and political satire just before the French Revolution. The 18 colored plates are by English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827). Rowlandson is known for his political satire and social observation. He was a prolific printmaker, and illustrated many novels, humorous books, and topographical works. Like other caricaturists of the Georgian Era (Gillray, Cruikshank), his caricatures are often robust or bawdy.

A little wear to extremities, with stain on front board of 1st Tour and occasional scattered foxing; otherwise a fine set. Binder's label of Remnant and Edmonds London. Early inscriptions on first free endpapers. Illustrated by 79 hand-coloured aquatint plates, signed by Thomas Rowlandson, including 3 frontispieces, by 2 vignette engraved title pages and by tailpiece vignettes. Originally issued in serial parts in Ackermann's, The Poetical Magazine in 1809 and on completion in book form in 1812; this copy has wide text margins as issued. The character of Dr Syntax, a satire on William Gilpin, a proponent of the concept of the picturesque in his writings, at once became immensely popular, with the public demanding more. Doctor Syntax in Search of the Picturesque is a story in verse of a travelling schoolmaster and was originally entitled The Schoolmaster's Tour and later The First Tour, or Tour to the Lakes. The work was reprinted a number of times during the following decades. The first two editions were so popular that the plates had become very worn. In this third edition, Rowlandson has re-engraved them, giving them a sharp and attractive appearance. This collaboration of illustrator, author, and publisher. A fine early set, splendidly illustrated by Thomas Rowlandson and bound by Remnant and Edmonds. (Abbey 266-67, referring to the original parts. Hardie, English Coloured Books, p.167-70).
