Hull: Printed for John Robinson, by M.C. Peck, 1840. First edition. 96,[4]pp. With list of subscribers - for ninety-five copies in all, making it perhaps likely that a total of one hundred were printed. §Not in Copac, not in Kohler, and seemingly only one location worldwide (UCLA). Pagination consists of [1]-96, followed by [313]-316 - latter consisting of 'The Maniac: A Poem. By Thomas Robinson' - as UCLA copy. Imprint 'Peck, Printer, Lowgate, Hull' to foot of p.96 and 316. Dedicated to the Earl of Yarborough (subscriber for 10 copies) by the editor, presumably the author's brother. The book opens with a short prose description of Brocklesby "where Earl Yarborough erected a commodious Inn for the accommodation of travellers and gentlemen"; followed by a four page prose description of a 'Dinner in Celebration of Earl Yarborough's Birthday', Barnetby, 8th of August 1840; and thereafter consists of poetry, opening with 'The Oxonian: A Poem' (heroic couplets, 16 pages, first line 'The wedded fair, whom "gay seducers" move'), followed by pieces such as 'The Tyrolese Villagers: Or, A Prospect of War' (heroic couplets, 18pp.), and 'The Gardener's Tale (blank verse, 15pp.). Original cloth-backed drab boards lacking part of original backstrip. A good, sound copy in all other respects. Pencilled ownership inscription of one Elizabeth [Illegible], dated 1851, to front free endpaper, and a few light pencilled annotations to text in same hand.…
