In his four novels there are over thirty major portraits and countless minor sketches (two or three sentances in length); they range from the pithy, ethical sketches in Johnathan Wild through the lengthy portraits in Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones (the portrait of Sophia runs a whole chapter) to the graphic Hogarthian delineations in the opening of Amelia." 206 pages, with Introduction, Conclusion, Notes, Bibliography, and Index; plus x (10) pages Contents, and Preface. DJ shows some fading and color loss, otherwise sound; inscription by author on second title verso, and snapshot of author pasted to rlEP; text otherwise is clean and strong. Signed by Author(s).

4to (240 x 190mm), pp. [ii], 16, [2]; small library stamp of the Portico Libary (Manchester) on title page and p. 13; and of the Selbourne Library at foot of title verso and on p. 11; else a good copy, in new wrappers made of old paper. First and only edition of this collection of new poems by Christopher Smart, most of them published here for the only time. The people addressed include Susanna, wife of Sir John Hussey Delaval (1728-1808), who was a highly successful industrialist; and the future Earl of Mansfield (William Murray). Those commemorated in the epitaphs include Henry Fielding, with whom Smart had engaged in the paper war against Sir John Hill some ten years before. The last leaf of the book advertises two recent works by Smart, A Song to David and Poems (here confusingly entitled Poems on Several Occasions, like the present work) these had been published earlier the same year, in April and July, and the present collection appeared in November. The foot of this page is signed by Smart: Mahony and Rizzo state that every copy is so signed, but this cannot be true because there are two copies in the Rothschild collection and only one is specified as bearing his signature. The final page is a specimen of Smart's translation of the Psalms, which was not finally published until 1765. This is a rare work much rarer than the collection of 1752 with ESTC locating only fourteen copies. Just one copy is noted as being sold at auction since 1975, the Graham Pollard copy in 1978. Rothschild 1882-3. Provenance. Portico Library, Manchester (founded 1802); more recently in the collection of Hugh Selbourne, whose library was for some years on deposit at Birmingham University, but dispersed at auction in London in 2015-16.

Vollständige Ausgabe in elegantem Handeinband der Zeit: Ganzfranzband / Ganzlederband, geheftet auf 5 Bünde, dunkelblaues Kalbsleder / Ganzleder / Leder im Format 15 x 22 cm mit reichverziertem Rückentitel und Deckelvignette in Goldprägung, Linienverzierung beider Deckel ebenfalls in Handvergoldung, handgestochenem Kopfband, Lederhäubchen, Ganzgoldschnitt und Schmuckvorsätze aus gelatiniertem (d.h. matt glänzendem) farbigem Handmarmorpapier, in gleichfalls handgefertigtem Pappschuber (Schubermaul lederbezogen). XIV+326 auf kräftigem Velinpapier, mit einer farbigen Frontispiz-Abbildung und vielen weiteren ganzseitigen Abbildungen auf Kunstdruckpapier und Tafeln sowie Register, mit Druckvermerk: "This edition consists of 250 numbered and signed copies, this is No.". Englischer Text. - Eines von 50 numerierten Exemplaren, ohne Nummerierung, jedoch vom Verfasser signiert. - "Warum handgebunden? - Die wesentlichsten Vorzüge des guten Handbandes sind: Die einzelnen Druckbögen werden mit der Hand nach dem Schriftspiegel gefalzt. Die Bogenränder werden dadurch zwar ungleich, aber das Satzbild steht gerade. Um infolge der ungleichen Ränder ein späteres zu starkes Beschneiden mit der Maschine zu vermeiden, werden die Bogen einzeln, vorne und unten, mit der Pappschere auf ein Mittelmaß rauh beschnitten. Dadurch wird der Druckrand weitestgehend geschont. Als erste und letzte Lage wird dem Buche zum Schutze eine leere Papierlage hinzugefügt, welche mit einem feinen Leinen- oder echten Japanpapierfalz versehen ist. Geheftet wird der Handband nach sorgfältiger Auswahl des Heftzwirnes auf echten erhabenen oder aufgedrehten flachen Bünden und auf Pergamentriemchen (welche beim Pergamentbande durch den Rücken gezogen werden). Bei Dünndruckpapier werden die Lagen zum Heften leicht vorgeritzt. Ein Einsägen oder gar Einraspeln der Bünde findet nicht statt. Oben wird das Buch beschnitten und erhält nicht nur der Schönheit willen Goldschnitt, sondern diese feine Metallschicht schützt vielmehr die dem Lichte und Staub am meisten ausgesetzte Schnittfläche vor deren schädlichen Einflüssen. Die Deckel werden in einem tiefen Falz angesetzt, mit den Bünden nach außen. Ein Herausreißen aus der Decke ist somit nur unter Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug möglich. Zum Kapital wird kein schlappes maschinengewebtes Bändchen verwendet, sondern das Kapital wird von Hand mit dem Buchblock umstochen, gibt dadurch dem Rücken einen festen Abschluß und bietet zugleich dem späteren Ledereinschlag ("Häubchen") die Unterlage. Als Einbandmaterial kommen sumachgares, lichtechtes Saffian, Kalbleder, vereinzelt auch Rindsleder, ferner naturelles und weißes Schweinsleder sowie Kalbspergament zur Verwendung. Ein mit der Hand hergestelltes, dazupassendes Überzugpapier sowie Handvergoldung oder Blinddruck am Rücken ergänzen das Werk nach außen. Ein solcher Einband entspricht allen Anforderungen, die an einen Gebrauchsband gestellt werden können."
