[113]-160pp. Orig. printed wrappers, sewn as issued. Wrappers worn, some scattered toning and foxing, else very good. Gaines 53c. Evans 37198. William Cobbett (1763-1835), the fiery Eng…lishman who took refuge in the newly-independent United States in the 1790s, was the publisher of the Porcupine's Gazette, a daily newspaper. The amazingly scurrilous Rush-Light was aimed at further vilifying Dr. Benjamin Rush, whom Cobbett so ridiculed during the yellow fever epidemic of 1797 that he was tried and prosecuted for libel, ending in a verdict against him for $5,000. Cobbett, undaunted, moved to New York and continued his tirades against Rush.

[161]-208, [2 blanks as issued]. Caption title [as issued]. LATER 3/4-gilt-ruled red morocco, raised spine bands. Extra-illustrated with a frontis. portrait of Benjamin Rush. Wi…th the bookplate of noted collector Frank C. Deering on front free endpaper. Light scattered foxing, top free corner missing from blank page at rear, very old small waterstain to head of exterior leaves, not affecting text, else very good. Gaines 54a. "One of Cobbett's greatest enemies was the eminent Philadelphia doctor, Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and ardent Jeffersonian, and a distinguished physician who had demonstrated his personal courage by remaining in Philadelphia to minister to the sick during the yellow fever epidemics which swept the city in 1791 and 1797. Cobbett devised a serial publication, The Rush-Light, simply to attack Rush. In the fifth number, in April of 1800, he went too far, accusing Rush of using the yellow fever epidemics as a cover for killing off his political opponents while pretending to treat them. Rush sued him for libel and won a settlement of $5000, which Cobbett did not have, accordingly, he fled back to England"-Reese The Federal Hundred 57. "Discussed are the prejudicial Judge's charge and other legal matters in the suit of Rush against Cobbett. `Revenge' and `Tragedy', in verse, concerns Rush. `A Portrait' is an attack on Governor M'Kean."-Gaines.

Contact seller5-star seller[COBBETT, William]. The Rush-Light.by Peter Porcupine. New York: William Cobbett, [1800]. Five parts, complete. 1st ed. 8vo. Continuously paginated. [2], 45, [2], 47-112, [2 (advts.)], 161-208, [2]; 113-160; 209-258, [2] pp. Removed from various volumes. Parts 1, 2, & 4 were removed from a single volume and remain joined, hence…the pagination; parts 3 and 5 are each removed from different volumes. Trim size is different for all three. Foxed and variously toned. Very good copies in a cloth clamshell. Gaines 51c, 52d, 53c, 54a, 55. Evans 37198. The first five issues of William Cobbett's The Rush-Light, the amazingly scurrilous publication aimed at vilifying Dr. Benjamin Rush. "During the yellow fever of 1797 [Cobbett] so ridiculed the purging and bleeding adopted by Dr. Rush that he incurred another prosecution, which ended in a verdict against him for $5,000." Cobbett then moved to New York and continued his tirade against Rush in The Rush-Light. Included are the issues of Feb. 15, Feb. 28, March 15, March 31, and April 30, 1800. These are the only issues that were printed in America, thereafter having been printed (briefly) in London. The Feb. 15 issue, containing the error of "New Yokk" as the place of publication and various other typographical changes, is noted by Gaines as "a new setting of type throughout," after two previous versions. The Feb. 28 issue is the second variant of a "completely new setting of type." The March 15 issue is a variant with some errors corrected. The March 31 issue is the earliest, and the April 30 issue is the only one noted in Gaines. The next issue of The Rush-Light was not published until Aug. 30, 1800, in London.
