8vo, pp.159, [1]; rather stained and dusty throughout; in a worn contemporary presentation binding of red morocco, covers filleted in gilt, spine gilt in compartments, gilt edges; authorial presentation inscription scraped away by a later owner but partly legible, repeated ownership inscriptions of Peter Hogg of Sandy Knowe, dated 1844, with a naive pencil sketch.First edition, scarce, possibly the dedication copy though subsequently defaced, of this collection of poems by 'The Berwickshire Ploughman'. Hewit (17781850) had a brief early career in the navy and army before becoming a poetical ploughman, publishing collections of poetry in 1798 and 1807, from the latter of which sixteen pieces are reprinted here; the other twenty-three poems are new and include some 'Lines to Sir W.Scott' and ' to Auld Reekie'. The inscription would appear to read 'George ?Baillie Esq. the gift of the author July 24' the printed dedication was to George Baillie (17631841), Vice-Lieutenant of Berwickshire, as 'patron of these rustic lays'. Its later owner Peter Hogg seems to have had little interest in this provenance but great love for the book itself. Library Hub records only three copies (Bodleian, Edinburgh, and NLS). Language: English.
