About this Item

12mo in 6s, (172x110mm), (3-)140,[2]p. the final text page mis-numbered 142 (lacking a half-title). 6 full page and 9 tailpiece vignette wood engravings by Luke Clennell after John Thurston. Some spotting and few later pencilled textual annotations - not always flattering of the author's work. Recent quarter white linen, blue paper covered sides. Early owner's signature of Sarah Stuart West on the front fly-lead. (Isaac, 'Checklist' in Davison's new specimen 17) An early piece of printing by Davison after the end of his partnership with Catnach, and the first edition of this title to appear solely with Davison's imprint. Discussing the cuts in this edition which Davison & Catnach used in the 1807 edition, Thomas Hugo (Bewick collector 223) writes 'in some of [the cuts] it is asserted, and can be hardly denied, that Thomas Bewick had a hand.' Tattersfield (Thomas Bewick, the complete illustrative work) while not including this work makes several references to the vignettes also appearing in Davison's editions of Burns, and Ferguson.

Store Description

We are located some 20 minutes drive from the M6, Junction 38 and therefore only a 20 mile detour from the main England-Scotland route. Appleby is a town well worth a visit, the coffee pot is always on though refreshment with ¿a little more authority' can be had if the Crown & Cushion in the town's market square is open! Our Bookroom is open by appointment. We will be happy to send pdf copies of our catalogue by email.
