Mallet was able to sell the poem to Vallant for £120 - considerably more than he had got for his 1728 poem 'The Excursion'. David Mallet ( born Malloch ), Scottish poet & who tends to be remembered today for the harsh criticism leveled at him by Samuel Johnson in the 'Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets' (1779 - 81) and for being Viscount Bolingbroke's literary executor. 200 grams.

Small slim 8vo, [2] + 60 + [2] pp. Original brown cloth, incised rules around perimeter and flourishes in all four corners within the rules, title stamped in gilt on front board.

Faint ownership inscription dated in year of publication on front free endpaper. A tale in verse, involving a slaveowner who wishes to foment a slave uprising so that it can be crushed, and those he ensnares in his evil plans. That the book appeared in 1860 with such a story line a year after the John Brown raid on Harper's Ferry is perhaps no accident and shows how prevalent the fear of such rebellions was in the minds of slaveowners.
