Marbled endpapers; purple ink name stamp "J.O. Banks." on front pastedown; handwritten antiquarian ink ownership inscription on front flyleaf "J.O. Banks | Tuscaloosa | 1850;" purple ink name stamp repeated at bottom margin of page v; varied foxing throughout. Binding is quite firm. Still an attractive very good copy. Odd interspersion of five blank leaves (as cited in the collation) at book's front and rear presumably done by the book's binder to balance out quires during the stitching process. Born in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, James Oliver Banks (1829-1904) graduated with a bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama in 1847 and 1850 respectively later followed by a medical degree from Jefferson College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Banks entered Civil War military service as a captain in September 1861 in Columbus, Mississippi with Company A, 5th Battalion, Mississippi Confederate Infantry rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel in October 1862 with the 43rd Mississippi Infantry participating in action at the Battle of Corinth and Vicksburg with final service in Alabama and Georgia. Banks was first married to Martha Jane Coleman (1833-1868) of Greene County, Alabama with whom he had five children (of which two passed in infancy) and, following her death, married Lucy Watkins Young (1841-1933) on May 11, 1870 with whom he had five children (all surviving to adulthood). Lucy Young was the last of ten children of George Hampton Young who owned the architecturally renowned Waverly Plantation on the west bank of the Tombigbee River between Columbus and West Point, Mississippi. No bookbindery ticket is present and thus the binding cannot be attributed to a specific shop or artisan. Although newspaper and book printing was well established in Tuscaloosa by 1850, it seems unlikely that a bookbindery could be viable in that small southern town during the antebellum period. Most likely the book was bound in Philadelphia (which had numerous binderies) while Banks was enrolled at Jefferson College or, as the book's spine decoration reflects a bit of French aesthetic more so than British (the latter being of greater influence among Philadelphia craftsmen), it is possible that the book was bound in Banks' frequent transit point of Mobile, Alabama which had several binders and, of course, a prominent French community.

The life and correspondence of Robert Southey, an English poet of the Romantic school who was appointed Poet Laureate in 1813. As one of the Lake Poets, along with William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey began his writing career as a radical, but he became steadily more conservative as he gained respect for Britain and its institutions.

Cuthbert was embarrassed by many of his father"s views, including his religious unorthodoxy, enthusiasm for alcohol, and open condemnation of some public figures.

Pictorial wrappers. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: None. Robert Cruikshank (illustrator). Yellowback Reprint. 16mo, yellow wrappers with pictorial engraving of paddle wheel steamers, illustrated with 7 full-page woodcuts with tissue guards and several small "devilish" vignettes, 34 pages + [2] blank + 18pp. Ads for Publications by Effingham Wilson. A charming bit of humorous satire with several equally delightful illustrations by ROBERT CRUIKSHANK (1789-1856) in a RARE surviving yellowback reprinting a popular piece from Matthews' Comic Annual of 1831. The poem underlying this comic take-off first appeared as "The Devil's Thoughts" in 1799. It is generally believed to have been composed by Robert Southey with subsequent additions by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The subject became a source of other take-offs such as one entitled "The Devil's Walk on Earth," and Lord Byron's "The Devil's Drive" of 1812. Southey made substantial revisions to the poem in 1827, and Coleridge published it as part of his own Collected Works in 1829. Thereafter, a letter appeared in the February, 14, 1830 edition of the Morning Post with the claim by one R. C. Porson that the poem, "The Devil's Walk," had been actually written by his deceased uncle "Professor Porson," who is alluded to in the title of our jeux d'esprit as NOT the author of the REAL Devil's Walk. Isaac ROBERT Cruikshank was the talented brother of caricaturist, illustrator, and etcher, George Cruikshank, with whom he often collaborated early in their artistic lives. Evidently, Robert was quite mischievous as a lad, for after he briefly tried out as a midshipman, his captain left him stranded on St. Helena! Evidently, the captain liked to have a LONG last laugh! After finding his way the very long way back to England, Robert engaged in many cartooning projects--often assisting or following-up on series begun by his more talented and prolific brother George, a prominent early illustrator of Charles Dickens, who grew to detest the great novelist. Rather Bohemian Robert subsisted on small procedes from etching to etching but died at 66 from bronchitis (or TB). George Cruikshank memorialized his brother as "a very clever miniature and portrait painter, and also a designer and etcher." Robert's close friend, George Daniel, stated that "he was apt to conceive and prompt to execute; he had a quick eye and a ready hand; with all his extravagant drollery, his drawing is anatomically correct; his details are minute, expressive, and of careful finish, and his colouring is bright and delicate." Extremely clean, tight, and bright copy of this RARE yellowback with clean, remarkably preserved illustrations.
