Thomas Moore (1779-1852) was an Irish author, poet and orientalist who also wrote an impressive History of Ireland (1835-46) from a nationalist point of view.

FIRST EDITION, 16mo., 155 x 95mm., pp.xx,175; handsome full tan calf; backstrip elaborately gilt in six compartments with contrasting morocco labels, c.1900, signed 'Perkins & Cecil'; ex libris `Edward Cecil Guinness', the fabulously wealthy Dublin brewer & First Earl of Iveagh. Having published his Odes of Anacreon in 1800 and with a growing popularity as a writer of songs, Moore's subterfuge of anonymity was perhaps due to the mildly erotic nature of this verse which caused him some embarrassment (and doubtless much popularity). This first edition is rare. A happy combination of two of Ireland's greatest exports.

First Edition. Octvao. 16.5cm. Contemporary black half straight grain morocco (or in fact something that is the leathery equivalent of thin gruel, masquerading as morocco) over marbled paper covered boards, titled in gilt to spine. Some scuffing and wear and to the boards and extremities, with a couple of places where the thin skin of the leather has chipped away a little, strong and tight, regardless of cheap production ethics, it's a very good little copy. Internally clean, and rather artfully printed. A rather scathing satire of political standpoints of the day presented through the lens of a 19th century boxing fanatic and through the words of Tom Crib [sic], All England Champion of the art of bare knuckle boxing between 1808 and 1822, who won 15 title fights and suffered no defeats, becoming on of the most famous and influential pugilists in history, and the darling of "The Fancy" those gentlemen and not quite so gentle men who were addicted to the pursuit and practice of bare knuckle boxing in the early 19th century. Cribb and his contemporary sportsmen frequently featured in political satire and argument of the time in the guise of "Everyman" figure, like the "Man on The Clapham Omnibus", a vague figure who nonetheless personified the thoughts and opinions of the average man in the street.
