Pamphlet. 31 p.; 17 cm. Latin and English on facing pages. Well printed on paper watermarked: J. Whatman / 1833 [or] 1834 `Everyone knows how John Gilpin came to be written. One October evening as Lady Austen sat with Mrs. Unwin and the poet in the parlour at Orchard Side, she told a story, remembered from girlhood, of a certain London citizen who rode out of town with his wife to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their wedding, and who went much further than he intended. Against the drollery of the tale Cowper's mood was at first adamant. But as the narrator, undaunted, went on, his face began to brighten, and soon the parlour echoed with peals of uncontrollable laughter. That same night The Diverting History of John Gilpin began to frame itself in his mind. He sprang from bed and committed to paper the first draft of the ballad, which he showed to the ladies over the breakfast table. For several days, secluded in the green house, he feverishly revised and polished, and sent across instalments of the poem, as he finished them, for the delight of Wilson the barber. John Gilpin first appeared ananymously in the Public Advertiser for November 1782. It became so popular that it was "hackneyed in evry magazine, every newspaper, and every street."' (Gilbert Thomas, William Cowper and the 18th century, 1955, p. 246 f.) -- From Bingham's anonymous edition, p. [3]: `The following translation of "John Gilpin" was undertaken a long time previous to the appearance of another in No. III. of the "Oxford University Magazine:" the statement of this fact will at least acquit its Author of any suspicion of either rivalry of plagiarism.' -- At end, p. [28]-31: Gulielmus Sartor = Billy Taylor, Latin and English. VG, removed from miscellaneous collection.

First Dublin edition. viii, 144pp. Contemporary tree-calf, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece, gilt. Rubbed and marked, later sympathetic repairs to upper joint, short split to foot of lower joint. Inscriptions of George Gore, along with other pen-trials, to blank fly-leaves and dedication leaf, some marginal worming at end. The rare first Irish edition of a little known, entirely spurious and understandably comedic prose 'life' of the fictional draper from Cheapside, John Gilpin, star of William Cowper's ballad 'The diverting history of john gilpin'. Cowper's verse, which follows Gilpin on an intended journey to the Bell Inn, Edmondton, during which he became separated from his family and was taken by an out of control horse to a town ten miles distant, had first appeared, anonymously, in the Public Advertiser (1782). The poem's popularity was immortalised in a series of performances at Freemason's Hall by the acclaimed Shakespearean actor John Henderson (1747-1785), and well capitalised upon by the London ballad and print trade, as well as by provincial stage-managers. This present attempt, in thirteen chapters, at telling the earlier and post ballad-journey life of the unfortunate Gilpin is (perhaps unsurprisingly, given the desire for popularity by association) dedicated to Henderson. It includes a narrative re-telling of the abortive trip to the Bell as Chapter X, 'How he intended to have dined at Edmondton, and was carried Ten Miles beyond it', as well as reprinting the verse original 'as read repeatedly with the greatest applause by Mr. Henderson'. All editions of this fictional work, first published by S. Bladon (London, 1785) and reprinted twice there in the same year, are rare; ESTC locates only four copies of this first Irish edition in the British Isles (BL, Cambridge, Dublin and NLI) and just three elsewhere (Princeton, Rutgers and Nebraska-Lincoln).
